Two days later…
I’ve made it! I am officially in South Carolina. I want to see as much as I can during my time here. You all have helped me out so much on deciding where to go! Thank you so much.
Yesterday morning, we were in Lexington Kentucky. We stayed off the highway at the Best Western Conference Center. It was dog friendly and very comfortable!
I had two of their yogurts, rice krispies and a mini muffin.
After relaxing, I decided to pack up my things. When I’m traveling, I keep a little overnight bag to take into the hotels rather than carrying around my luggage.
After packing, I took Grumples for a three mile walk. We still had eight hours left of driving and I wanted to tire him out.
Entering South Carolina was a joy too! We went through so many cute and charming towns. I know I’m going to like it here! I’ve always wanted to buy an older house full of character.
After dinner, we drove over to the apartments we will be living in. They are adorable and have a great running path!
The breakfast at the hotel (Hampton Inn & Suites) was fabulous! They had everything. I had yogurt, peanut butter and jelly toast, fresh fruit, mixed nuts, and coffee.
Today we will be moving into the apartment and his company is going to furnish it thank goodness! I’m glad we didn’t have to drag all of our things this time.

I love when hotels have complimentary breakfasts! I’m so jealous of the temp where you are – it’s 28 degrees here in Michigan!

So glad I’m out of that weather! It was a rough winter:( But the summer in MICH was great!
Ashley says
Welcome to SC Taralynn! If you make it to Columbia, check out the Riverwalk (great place to run!) and the Saluda is a great place to go tubing. Enjoy!
Erica says
I’m in columbia as well! Me and my pup love doing the river walk, and stopping for a picnic snack in the sun 🙂
Taralynn McNitt says
Thanks! will do!:)
Lauren says
It looks like you have Jeremy on a leash in that photo… lolol
Taralynn McNitt says
hahaha maybe I do 😉
Sara says
My husband is also obsessed with Clash of Clans! It’s insane! So much so that I have thought of looking for a support group. He’d never know I was gone. HA! Enjoy your time in the South.
Taralynn McNitt says
If you find one…please let me know lol He wakes up in the middle of the night so his village won’t get raided……….
Niki says
Make sure you check out the Outer Banks while your in the Carolina’s! It’s so pretty there and there’s tons of stuff to do 🙂
Taralynn McNitt says
I plan on it !:)

I worked at Applebees a long time ago and I promise you those vegetables WERE microwave-style. Blech.
Taralynn McNitt says
thought so!

I LOVE all the pictures of the south. I was born and raised in Lexington, but I have been living in Denver, Colorado for the past year and a half. I miss the south and the hospitality incredibly! Please keep posting beautiful pictures!
Cheers!
Mal 🙂
Taralynn McNitt says
I bet you miss it!:( I’m sure colorado is gorgeous too!
Cindy says
Mmmh.. everything looks delicious!
I lived in Charleston, SC for 2 1/2 years when i was little. I loved it and i hope that i can move back there in the future. What i loved most about charleston was the great food. Especially the sea food. And if you get the chance you have to walk along the battery at sunset, it’s beautiful!
I hope you enjoy it 🙂

hahaha your boyfriend looks EXACTLY the same as mine in that picture. I’m 23 and he’s 24 and he’s always making sure his phone stays on so he can finish his attack haha. The other day I asked him when he “wins” hoping he’d say soon and that it’d be over but he said something along the lines of it could never end lol
Taralynn McNitt says
hahaha it’s the worst! I’m kind of like that with candy crush but that’s all he does! Sometimes he talks about the raids and missions (or whatever you call them) so seriously like its a REAL thing….
Brittain says
While you are in North Carolina you should check out sliding rock and Flat Rock Playhouse!
Melissa says
I can’t believe you were right here in Lexington at the beginning of the month. Just wanted to say hi, and thank you for being such an inspiration and a lovely person in general. It’s soothing to read a blog or watch a vlog from someone who is sweet and kind. P.S. Grumples is seriously making me consider larger dogs, he’s so cute! Most of the dogs I like have always been smaller. Of course I have my hands full with my pug right now, Lola. So life’s good. All the best.

So happy you’re not with that jerbofratboy anymore
