Weekend away!

I have been looking forward to this past weekend for two months...every since our friends Allen and Sara moved south. See, they used to live 47 seconds from us. Now they live almost five hours away. So on Friday, we headed to Anderson, South Carolina, to spend the weekend with the Bakers. 

This is what the world looked like when we left home late Friday afternoon.

Baker time! We spent Saturday morning relaxing with The Settlers of Catan. It was complicated...it was awesome! 

Saturday afternoon we went to downtown Greenville (SC). It was gorgeous! 


Derrick and I were in love with the fact that they have a waterfall in a park downtown. You're just walking along looking at stores and smelling amazing restaurants and then *boom* park with waterfall. Step it up, Raleigh...seriously.

There was also this awesome tree.
(And Sara doing yoga)

We ate at this interesting Mexican-Japanese restaurant...and then went to Coffee Underground for dessert. It's this cozy, relaxed little coffee shop underground that anyone near Greenville should check out- great vibe...

And aaaaaaamazing pie (chocolate pecan). 

We ended the night with Settlers Round 2...

And this morning we were blessed to worship at NewSpring Church, where Allen works now. 

It was a great weekend with some of our favorite friends! 
We hate that they no longer live 47 seconds away, but we love that visiting them now means that we get to go on an awesome trip ;)

Oh yeah, and this is what we came home to...
