Carolina Adventures

Endless possibilities. +Steeliebros FlyCO
Fly Fishing - Broad River, Columbia- South Carolina

Well, I have been trying to get all creative and fancy for my blog but I have not been in the super creative state. SO I thought I would simply share some photos from the last 3 weekends.

Sometimes you just have to go explore to find something that fulfills your soul.

Columbia, South Carolina
    >> Greek Festival
http://columbiasgreekfestival.com/
The Greek Festival was worth going to! If you are bored on sometime between September 18th- 21st, this is something I recommend you go to! The food was great (if you leave with out eating any desserts....shame on you ;)
   >>Tip: Get the dessert that looks like a bunch of shredded wheat...OMG it was amazing. Hence the photo.

  It is a family fun event and they have plenty of adorable little vendors and you can actually tour the beautiful Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Hand painted and gorgeous sanctuary will captivate you. Church Tours

 If you are around Columbia/ The Midlands of South Carolina, stopping in at one of the many forests around the area would be a great idea! Many of the forests in Columbia have paved trails (So it is easy for strollers and kids!) Most of them are near water as well, so they make for some adorable photos OR some great fishing! [The photo at the top of the page is a great example!]

Three Favorite places (so far):
  1. Harbison State Forest
          Harbison State Forest Website
         {Tip: When you go to visit...make sure you are out on time! They will lock you in}
      $$ Entrance Fee: $5 per day or $25 for a year parking pass!

  2. Saluda Shoals
           Saluda Shoals Park Website
         This park is GREAT for anyone! Paved walking trails, a splash pad that is amazing for kids and it runs right next to the Saluda River!
   $$ Entrance Fee:  $5 for a day!

   3. Random Pull off spot!
          This spot is kind of super random! It is on Broad River Road! It is right after a BIG bridge. It is hard to explain-- if you need better directions, Email me!! Coachjessmirek@Gmail.com
     Regardless, this (I think meets with Columbia's River walk) and there are great paved trails and river access throughout the path!!

Uploading MORE exciting adventures later this week!! I hope you enjoyed the photos.

    Remember: Get out, explore a little. At the end of the day- you TV didn't grow a pair of legs and leave your house. Spend time learning more about yourself and the world you live it!
