Pulling out of the driveway Monday morning.
Elizabeth was a great travel buddy on our 7-hour car drive. She took a couple of naps, watched cars and trucks drive by, and talked to me for a bit. We stopped half way for lunch and she took FOREVER to eat (like 45 minutes) because she kept looking at the balloons and summer decorations hanging from the ceiling. We got to Stacy and Paul's house around 4pm and hung out until Dana come over for dinner.
Dana, Elizabeth, and me
My beautiful college roommate, Dana, came over for a pizza dinner at Stacy and Paul's. Dana is pregnant with her first baby and I am so excited for her! She is going to be the best Mom and I can't wait to meet her beautiful baby.
On Tuesday, we played in the backyard in the morning and went to the Fort Jackson Water Park in the afternoon.

Elizabeth loved it!
On Tuesday night, Elizabeth and I met Teri and Libby at Wild Wings for dinner.
Teri and Libby are two of the most fabulous women I know. I used to work with them at an insurance company in Columbia. Teri and Libby helped keep me sane during a rough year before graduate school. I really enjoyed meeting up with them and introducing Elizabeth to two of my favorite people. Thank you Teri and Libby for meeting us for dinner!
On Wednesday, we got up and ready early and took the girls to the River Banks Zoo. Stacy has a membership and it is a fantastic place to take little kids!

We spent the rest of Wednesday hanging out at the house and playing in the backyard.
On Thursday, we drove back to Alexandria... (I was a little bored and took a bunch of pictures)
