the tiniest of vacations

 We went to a wedding in Greenville recently and 
decided to stay overnight and visit the city park before heading home.
 What an amazing park in the middle of the city. 
You notice how the suspension bridge left one side free
for viewing the waterfall?
We walked and bench hopped and even found a swing to enjoy.
The morning was cool before the heat set in.
It was the tiniest of vacations, but as we all know,
even a couple of hours in such a place can be refreshing.

Joining Mosaics on Monday today.

  5. So true about the tiny vacations. Just a lift to the spirit. This looks like a wonderful park, and a perfect spot for a short getaway.

  6. Tiny vacations are the best because they come without all the bother of a longer vacation!

  8. What a lovely idea!! So much better to pause to relax and to soak in the lovely surroundings than to just hurry on to the next thing. I love that you even enjoyed a swing! :)

  9. Overnight trips to unknown, interesting places are some of my favourite things to do.
    I never underestimate the pleasure of a mini break!
    Happy MM

  15. Did you decide before you left for the wedding or once you were there? If once you were there, that is amazing to me and very cool. Oh, no, it's cool either way.

  18. I like the water cascading over the rocks in the first photo and the tour around the park as you saw it. Yes, even a tiny vacation can recharge the soul.
    Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Dotsie.

  20. I never turn down a tiny vacation, Dotsie -- sometimes they're the best kind. :) You took some great pictures, and the park is certainly a nice one. This is probably a really dumb question, but did you go to Greenville, SC or Greenville, NC? I've never been to Greenville, North Carolina, but would like to visit sometime. I'm glad you enjoyed your outing. :)

    Have a great rest of the week!

    Hugs,

    Denise

  21. As Denise says, I have never been to Greenville, not even North or South Carolina, so I enjoyed your photos. A very pretty place.

  22. I love your little vacation.

    I want to visit Charleston and Savannah and am trying to convince Steve we need a little getaway after all the hectic planning of our son's wedding.
