A Day in a Year in a Life / Day 177

26/June/2015, Day 177.  Friday.

Off to Columbia, SC we go!

Grump took the day off so we could all drive over to Columbia, SC.  Sweetie had wanted to get Dodong dedicated at the church we attended, (Columbia Midtown SDA Church), when we had lived in Columbia, and Grump finally relented.  We reserved a hotel room out on Garners Ferry Road, packed up the car, and drove off to Columbia!

We took a slightly different route this time.  After taking Georgia 83 through Monticello, soon after passing through the mighty metropolis of Shady Dale we veered to the right onto either Fitspatrick or Little River road, followed it to 7 Island Road, then took 7 Island Road all the way to Interstate 20.  It was a fun way to travel, even if it took us a few extra minutes.  (I wouldn't try this without some sort of navigation system in your car!)

We arrived at Columbia in the early afternoon, then wandered around Five Points for a bit.  Outside an ice-cream shop, right in front of the door, we had our first major challenge of the day: Kuya barfed and barfed and barfed.  Fortunately the ladies working in the store were super nice, and cleaned it all up without a complaint.  Also, although he soaked his feet, (yuck!), Kuya was wearning Crocs, so it was easy to clean him up.

After that excitement we met some friends for Yesterdays for a nice dinner.  We all had a good time, except Kuya, who was still acting unwell, and didn't eat much of anything.  So our good cheer was dampened somewhat by our concern for him, although after taking some children's Tylenol he seemed to be feeling a little better.
