Grandpa & Grandma Hollenbeck's visit to Greenville!

This is part 1 of 2 blogs for Grandpa and Grandma Hollenbeck's visit to Greenville. The slide show I usually use is not working and I can only get this many pictures on a post. I have a few more of our visit to the BMW museum and visitor's center.

We had a GREAT time with Steve and Sonya, although I think Matt may have seen them for a total of 4 hours during their entire visit due to being on call and crazy work hours! We spent time at the BMW plant, the mall (thankful for the indoor playground with the heat!), and the Reedy River trails. We also tried a BBQ restaurant called "Smoke on the Water." This is Matt and my 3rd attempt to finding good BBQ here in the Carolinas. Well...try, try again. It isn't bad, just different than Kansas City BBQ! And you know how us KC folks think our BBQ is the best! I'm sure we will adjust and learn to enjoy it as much as the Carolinians. They did have good mac & cheese! We also went to the BMW plant here in Greenville...the ONLY one in the United States!! They manufacture the Z4, X5 and X6..and they are so hideous :) Really, I would take one of each! Maybe I should get a job there to get all the perks...and a car at a good deal! We enjoyed a walk along the Reedy River trails...I should say partially enjoyed and partially tolerated the heat. Man it warms up quickly here and I always feel somewhat rushed to get a walk or run done so the boys don't get too toasty! Luckily, my mother-in-law and I got to sneak in some shopping time, which is definitely a priority! It was so nice to have a visit from family and the boys had a great time playing with Grandpa and Grandma - no spoiling, of course :) The pictures above are from the restaurant downtown, the Reedy River trails and outside the BMW visitor's center.
