Arrive - Quality Inn, Kenly, NC 4:15pm - (frustrating stay as there was issues with our room. The water wasn't on and after several trips to the front desk it was turned on but it was gross, we'll never stay there again! The good news is that the price was reduced by half.

Back on the road, a relatively short trip to Columbia. Stephen and Sandra left for their trip on the 28th, a neighbor took care of Maddie and Ally until we arrive. The dogs were very happy to see us, I like to think that they remember us :)
It was here that I decided I needed to get my act together so decided to get back on my diet and to start exercising a little bit. Having the dogs made it much easier to get into the rhythm of walking and I tried to do it daily even though it rained a lot while we were there. I also started using exercise bands in an effort to firm up my under arm "wings".
We went to a University of SC men's basketball game and were going to go to a women's game against Baylor (in preparation of possibly seeing Baylor at the NCAA final four in April) but Maddie took off for two hours and we didn't want to leave her out while we were away.
Stephen & Sandra had a wonderful trip. It was very interesting hearing all about it. I guess I need to add Israel to the list of places to go :). We stayed a few more days with them, hanging out and playing cards. It rained the whole time that we were together and it was cold.
We'll be heading back to Columbia in January for a month while Stephen & Sandra head down under.
One last thing to note about Columbia is that gas is super cheap here, we paid $1.84 with our Shell card...that's not a typo, gas under $2.00....crazy :)
Leave Kenly, NC 10:56am, 44° clear
