The CK Daily – Unplanned Moments, Meaningful Memories
Happy Monday!
Our trip to Greenville, SC was quite wonderful. We really enjoyed how walkable the city is, and Falls Park on the Reedy was a highlight. Greenville felt like a “just right” kind of city for me. Not too big and not too small. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, and the kids had a great time visiting the small zoo and exploring the park.
Earlier in the week we visited Chimney Rock State Park, and something a little unusual happened while we were there. We noticed a heavy police presence and even a helicopter flying low over the area. At first we thought it might be a search and rescue situation and didn’t think much of it. The park itself is really impressive. One of the coolest parts is the elevator that takes you up 26 stories to the top in what feels like no time at all. At one point, park officials shut down traffic in and out of the park for about 20 minutes, so we decided to take a short hike instead.
That ended up being one of the best parts of the trip. The trail to Hickory Nut Falls was great, and the waterfall itself is over 400 feet tall. The kids handled the hike really well and had a lot of fun playing in the water at the base of the falls. On the way out, we had to pull over as a motorcade of police vehicles came through. Turns out we happened to visit at the same time as a government official (new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin), which explained all the activity earlier in the day.
We’re glad to be back from our short trip and took the rest of the week to recover and get back into the routine.
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!
