Then we went to the fountains just along the Reedy River. JDaniel loves running up and down the train track painted on the ground and drinking out of the fountains. I was not thrilled with all the drinking. The water looked and smells clean though.
We headed up North Main Street to enjoy two special treats. The first treat came from Chocolate Moose to split one of their wonderful cupcakes. JDaniel selected an orange dreamsicle flavored one. It was delicious so, delicious that I forgot to take a picture of it.
The second treat came from the Mast General Store. JDaniel usually gets to pick a piece of candy for each brass mouse he can find on Main Street. There is a lot of construction going up and down Main Street. We couldn’t find very many mice not surrounded by cones and plastic walls. We did find a book and game about the Mice on Main in a display case at the Mast General Store. JDaniel thought we could just take a picture of them and then get some candy.
In the back of the Mast General Store are barrels of old fashioned candy. Most are only a few cents each. JDaniel picked out five piece and we paid seventy cents for them.

I just visited South Carolina in June for the first time! I went to Columbia to visit my fiance’s family. We plan on going back in the future for a longer visit.

This post just made me so incredibly home sick. I can’t wait to move back. I forgot all about the mice on main, I can’t wait to go back and do that with my boys.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Greenville.
I need to remedy that.
