September 20th - Greek Festival at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Columbia.  We have the last several years worked in the Souvlaki Booth with Chris Miller for a couple of hours before enjoying the festival - this has been a way to say thank you for their church letting us use their facility as a meeting place (and it's been fun!).  I'll check with him and see if he needs some help!

 

October 10th - Apple picking trip to Sky Top Orchard near Hendersonville, NC.  We have been several times now and it has been great.  However... other people have discovered it, too - so we should get as early a start as possible. Pix from a previous trip :

• Update : It was RAINY - we hiked at DuPont State Forest and picked our apples off of the tables at Sky Top...

November 21-22 - James Island County Park Christmas Lights, camping, bike riding, etc  I'll contact the park about camping - I would recommend that we go down early Saturday, take bikes to ride in the park, perhaps book some time on the climbing wall, and see the lights at night.  We could visit downtown Charleston Sunday before coming home.
