Maggie Goes to the Mountains




On Saturday, we took a family outing to the mountains at Table Rock. It was an absolutely beautiful day, the trees were beautiful and it was a perfect day to drive through the mountains. We made our first stop at the new Victoria Valley Vineyards. The local vineyard has some delicious wine and I have to recommend the Pulse. We ran into a long-time family friend at the Vineyard, Melanie. Melanie use to babysit my siblings and I and it was fun for Maggie to meet her! We then traveled a little bit down the mountain to Aunt Sue's Shops and Restaurant. As always the food was delicious. We learned an interesting fact from Melanie while at the Vineyard. When we got there, the place was covered with ladybugs. Seriously, thousands upon thousands! Melanie told us the twice a year Clemson releases the ladybugs as they're a natural pesticide and will help clean out agricultural areas, so they help sustain the vineyard. Very neat! If you're ever in need of a good day trip the Vineyard and Aunt Sue's is a wonderful place!!
