Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

COLA Walk

Before we left Columbia (COLA, for short), Ashlyn and Luke told us about a river park in town.  Ashlyn used to run this with her UofSC running club, and Luke's ROTC unit does their 12-mile ruck here.  We were eager to ditch our masks and get some fresh air.

The morning weather was really nice and perfect for a 4-mile stroll after breakfast.

This sign surprised us a bit, as we're pretty far inland.  Maybe in Charleston, but not Columiba?!!  Keeping our eyes open just in case.

The family seemed to put up with my contstant pictures quite well.

The Spanish moss was gorgeous!

As I tried to capture Ashlyn doing the leprechaun, I also captured Luke pushing his little sister.  Lovely.  

My heart is with these four, and I'm grateful for them every day.


Best way to spend a long holiday weekend...family time.
