2nd trip - 4th stop - Lexington, SC with FH RV Club

The ten of us (Ellen & Jim, Debbie & Bernie, Roberta & Bill, Karen & Art and us) said good-bye to Stephanie & Chris Davies after we all packed up and left the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry, GA.  Stephanie and Chris were starting out for a cross-country trip.  The rest of us were heading to Lexington, SC to the Barnyard RV Park.

We ended up heading back to Lizard Thicket for dinner with the Pettigrews, Palmeris and Pethybridges.  The next night we went to a Mexican restaurant with Pettigrews and Pethybridges and Ellen ordered a frozen Margarita which she insisted I share with her (she got a brain freeze and it was a BIG drink).

Ed wanted to do a tour of a gourmet popcorn factory in Columbia and Cromer's (p-nuts AND popcorn) had a minimum requirement of ten people for a tour.  Ed was able to talk everyone in to going and for the tour price we got free cotton candy and a bag of popcorn.  The popcorn was pretty good and everyone ended up buying something afterwards.

After that everyone went in separate directions and we went to the River Banks Zoo and Botanical Gardens with Karen & Art.  It was cold but it was really nice.   

The distance between the zoo and the gardens ended up being quite a hike and 3/4 of it was UP hill.  Ed was smart and he opted to move the car from the zoo parking lot to the gardens and he said that was quite a distance also.  However, the gardens were beautiful and well worth the strenuous and exhausting walk.

Everyone departed Lexington, SC on Tuesday, 3/26 to head back home to Fairfield Harbour.
