Trip to SC - Part II

Our SC adventures continued into June with a trip to Lake Bowen Fish Camp to eat dinner and feed the ducks. Chuck arrived for the third week were in Spartanburg. We visited Strawberry Hill for a yummy breakfast and went swimming at Hillbrook almost every night!

Chuck was also very excited to finally get to experience Monkey Joe's. We always hear Victoria talk about it so one rainy afternoon we decided to head over and have fun on all the bouncy houses and slides that Monkey Joe's has to offer. I'm not sure who had more fun......Victoria, Mary Pat or Chuck!

We also had a great time visiting the Children's Museum of the Upstate in Greenville. Mary Pat had a BLAST here. It was a wonderful, hands on place and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Upstate.

Unfortunately, we had to head back to New York after almost 3 1/2 weeks in South Carolina. On our drive back, we stopped by Duke to take a look at campus and stayed the night with Aunt Shay baby in DC. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to head back down south again soon! Here are MANY more pictures! Michael and Nana enjoying Lake Bowen.
