Home Sweet Clemson

I was a happy girl when we received my brothers 40th birthday party invitation and discovered the only hotel available with my travel agent discount was in Clemson - no I didn't plan it that way or trick my parents! 
I don't get to venture back to the Upstate of SC very often as it is a 6 hour drive from Wilmington so to say I was excited was a major understatement. Clemson is the only other place in the world where I feel completely at home and that I could be just as happy there as I am in Wilmington. 
We arrived at the beautiful Courtyard by Marriott in Clemson and then wandered downtown to do some orange shopping. We bought our All In Win Orange Bowl tshirts, and I got a new candle from Razzberry Fizz. We didn't have long before we had to drive to Greenville for my brothers birthday party. 
It was great to spend the evening with my sweet nieces, brother, and sister-in-law and celebrate his big 4-0! 


We spent the night in Clemson and went to First Baptist Church in Clemson which will always feel like my "home" church. The people there were like family to me and took care of my at a crucial time in my life. After church we went to my favorite little spot, Potbelly Deli, with my dearest friend from college, Tiffany. It was so great to catch up before heading back to the beach. 
Clemson will forever hold a piece of my heart and always feel like my home away from home.
