A Weekend In South Carolina

This morning Dad was nice enough to get up and take me to airport. His meetings started at 8 am, so he was a champ to run through his day on so little sleep for me. I flew from MCO to ORD to ATL. Those of you who know airport codes know this was quite inefficient, in the sense that I flew virtually directly over Atlanta to go to Chicago to then fly back to Atlanta. The reason for this routing was actually not a miles run but rather the result of last minute planning and the use of miles to get the ticket.

For now we’ll leave the details on this trip sparse. The super short version is that I met a friend who grew up in Walhalla, SC. We attended the North Carolina vs Clemson football game. It was awesome. The tradition of the Running of the Hill was really, really fun to see in person. It was a perfect fall day for football and Clemson kept its undefeated season alive.



After tailgating, football and more tailgating we went to the Walhalla Oktoberfest which was an experience unto itself. The people watching there was some of the best I’ve seen anywhere in the world. For those of you from Eugene, picture a small Southern town’s version of the Lane County Fair and your image will be close. For the rest of you there is a picture below.



Sunday afternoon I flew back to Orlando on a direct flight from ATL...
