On our second day we drove into Charleston in the evening to reunite with their children, who I grew up with, and their families. We had drinks and snacks at the youngest child's home where we were entertained by their dachshund Griswald and their two children. We had a wonderful dinner at the eldest child's home where we had wine, great conversation with their two daughters (son was off working), and plenty of laughs.
It was a delightful break between dropping off Madison and heading home to ready for the school year. It's kind of crazy that we haven't done this more often. It has been eight years since I last traveled to their homes. Perhaps my new year's resolution this next year should be to travel more to visit relatives!
I'm glad you had such nice distractions! It looks beautiful there!
