Loving Greenville

There are about 1,000,010 reasons why we love Greenville...all of which we will discuss right now.... we kid, we kid! However, a few of them can be highlighted by discussing our evening on Thursday. I will say that I am beginning to realize that maybe Garrett and I have more exciting lives than I thought.

On Thursday evening when Garrett got off work, we put on our walking shoes and headed to our favorite local sub shop, Subway. Luckily before leaving the house, I noticed (during a wrestling match between Garrett and the dog) that Garrett had a giant split up the back of his pants. So, he changed..then we left.

We took our picnic dinner out to Falls Park (http://www.fallspark.com/index.asp), and thus began the beginning of an extremely intersting evening. After finishing dinner and watching Garrett and Stabler climb around on the rocks we headed in the direction of the Larkins Amphitheatre to check out Rythm on the River (http://www.rhythmontheriver.com/). Rhythm on the River is a summer concert series...they normally have beach music type people. On a total side note....anyone that was at the Brantley wedding in 2006..the band that played at their wedding, Men of Distinction, is playing at Rhythm on the River at the end of this month.

We didn't actually go into the concert because it costs $5...so we just stood on the other side of the river and watched...which a lot of people do (we aren't the only cheapies in G'Ville). I went to Ocha, a little tea bar, a got some bubble tea and Garrett got some gelatto from the Lazy Goat.

During this process, we had a 30 minute conversation with a group of Gold Wing motorcycle riders that were in town for the big rally (allegedly the biggest one ever). The people we talked to were from up North and they seemed to find Garrett and I very intersting...so interesting that they took pictures of us. Weird but whatever, they were nice. We also had another encounter with some Gold Wingers (these people definitely were from the South) and their dogs, Keisha and Razzle... I am not sure Stabler knew exactly what to make of them. You can't really tell from the picture...but the hair that they actually had was dyed pink.

We then ran into some friends, who Garrett talked to while I talked to another random couple about dogs for about an hour (which was way more fun than it sounds). During this time Stabler made himself at home in a homeless man's lap...which luckily the homeless man loved. After that we watched the concert while Stabler licked an unknown substance off Garrett's feet, which I have a video of but it would take a year to upload.

After that, we walked back home. I have to say that we absolutely love living in downtown Greenville....there is truly a ton to do and lots of interesting people to be met. If anyone is interested in taking a little road trip to see us....we would be delighted!!!
