Greenville Stopover (Part II)

Time to finish up my account of my weekend-long trip out of town for Mike's wedding. Now, although I didn't get much time to spend with my sister when I stayed at her place in Greenville on the way up, I DID get some decent quality time with her when coming home, which was nice. Before that though, I stopped for a leisurely lunch in downtown Charlotte at this burger joint called Nix. The main reason I wanted to stop at a real restaurant instead of a typical roadside fast food joint was that, up to that point, I hadn't gotten a chance to see the downtown area of any of the cities I had been to, and considering that Charlotte's was perhaps the biggest/prettiest of the options available to me, I figured I might as well check it out.

Anyway, once I got into Greenville, J!Rock and I hit up some Goodwill shopping followed by a trip to the cinema to see Paranormal Activity (review up soon). After this, we headed to the quaint-but-modern downtown Greenville for some sushi and a walk, and then we retired at her house watching Zoolander to keep us entertained until bedtime.

Overall, this was easily the most relaxing day of the trip, and it was nice to finally get to return to Greenville to hang with Jaclyn (something I had been planning on doing for awhile). Although the trip as a whole had its awkward moments, I would say that it was a nice four-night adventure of sorts, and as such, I could certainly see myself doing that drive (and perhaps up to Baltimore/Washing D.C. as well) in the not-too-distant future. Thanks to everyone for their hospitality!
