Dance Competition Weekend

We stayed here with another family for the weeke d while our daughters had a dance competition at Furman University. It was cheaper than a hotel splitting with another family. Plent of room for us to stay and get the kids ready. And it was nice to have the place to eat and sit and relax when we came back after a ling day!
