Carolina Adventures Part 2

Weekends are so great. Although, why did society design weekends to be SO incredibly SHORT?!
I don't know how you are but when the weekend comes around I feel like we (Jake and I) try to get literally THE MOST out of it!

With Jake being on the road throughout the week, I feel like we have to catch up on all the FUN stuff we could do during the week. Thus leading to fun filled weekends! I think the thing I "Google" the most is: Free things to do in __________" <<Fill in the blank with whatever city we are in!

Well, besides the Greek Festival (mentioned previously in the post below) and Hiking>> Two weeks ago went went to Greenville, South Carolina!

I think there are probably a billion amazing things to do in Greenville but we only were able to explore the area for a few hours!

First Greenville Exploring Tip:
     

Go to  Staxs Omega for breakfast... I literally promise you.. you will NOT regret it! Prices are reasonable and the food was GREAT! Plus the atmosphere was adorable. It makes you feel like you are on vacation (even if you aren't)
    Highly Recommended.



Is there a mall?
    Yes. There is a super cute mall in Greenville! Two floors and TONS of stores! Haywood Mall is defiantly
a great place to shop! 
    >>Stop at "Nina's" in the mall for some adorable Spartina449 gear-- aka purses, clutches etc! <3

We came across a cute little (I mean little) Oktober Fest! Now, I am SURE that Greenville goes all out for other festivals but this Oktober Fest was fairly small and low key!

Myself and Jake at The Blue Ridge Brewery.

 With there only being one/two small food vendors and one beer truck, we were forced to explore the city a little! There were adorable shops and restaurants around every corner and I can only imagine that we could have spent days exploring this city. I am already excited to go back and wander around the city some more!


 

One thing we did NOT get a chance to do, which was the one thing EVERYONE suggests is go to Greenville's Falls Park

    >>Check the website out: Falls Park <<

The photos are amazing! I am kind of upset we didn't get to go!

It is only Wednesday
BUT
do you know what your doing this weekend?!  


PS- if you are from or have traveled anywhere around South Carolina and have any travel tips/cool places you would recommend- PLEASE comment and let me know!! 

Too hot for you?

How to survive a super hottttt summer.

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Most likely, you just spent 7 months complaining about how HORRIBLY cold it was... so when the humidity is at 100% just remember in Febuary you were praying for heat.  

                                                                                               -Thank you.

Naturally upon the first hot day of summer you will consider the following as 3 solid options:

1. Buy a sweet ass house with a gigantic pool....duh.
2. Hire someone to pour you drinks...all day long.
3. Hire a cook >> that way you don't have to prepare ANY meals in a hott kitchen.
     

However, if you were to decide to have a summer like this, you might end up loosing $200,000.

So, let's come up with some other ideas to keep you cool and save you some mulllahhhh$$

• Water. It. is. FREE. So drink it, sit in it, play in it...etc.
• Buy a kiddie pool and place it on your patio/porch. You can choose to sit in it or just put your feet in it-- in order to cool you down. Throw some ice in there if it isn't cold enough.
• Water Balloons. {aren't that great for the earth but they are fun}
• Set up a fan...outside. Sounds silly but you can add a breeze to your sweety self with one of these magically devices. Mwahaha.
• Check out this misting fan.... if you were to buy this, you better chain it to your patio! They are PRICEY!! $$$ >>>Just Kidding! They are like $8.oo #saywhat Mistaway
• A cooooool TOWEL. Place a cold towel on the back of your neck.
• Run your wrists under cold water #zerodollarsspent <-- it will help cool your body down.
• Eat cold & refreshing fruit #lovefruit
• Have a bucket of water that gets dumped on you every 15 minutes. [[This maybe a tough one... but I am sure you have a friend that would love to dump a bucket of water on your head haha]]
• Find a river and go swimming! {Be aware of what might be in that river. Don't go swimming with any great whites or alligators lol}
• Go Fishing! A lot of the time the river, lake or the ocean is a prefect place to find not only water but a breeze! Make sure you bring your fishing rod and a buddy >> Check out some of our adventures/gear Here!
• Sit in a Hammock... in the shade of course!
    

• Splash Pads/Splash pools, seem to be a big thing down south! So try to find one!  Usually they are only for childern though... sorry!
• By a shade for your patio/ porch... shield yourself from the sun!! Lol
• Oh did I mention you should drink your WATER.......
• Get a regular hat or something to cover your head and put it in water... then put it on your head!! YAY! I love doing this lol!

Basically, if you live near a sink, pool or WalMart, you will survive.

Find the water: drink it and use it!
