Thanksgiving in South Carolina

For Thanksgiving this year, we headed down to South Carolina for the week to see Mike's parents, his brother and sister-in-law. We flew on Sunday the weekend before (first time flying with Ry) and she did great. We landed, got some deli sandwiches for lunch and headed to the house. On the way to the house Riley started feeling like she had a fever. She had had a mild fever the day before we left and we thought it was due to teething so we weren't too concerned, but on that Sunday as we were driving I knew she had more than a mild fever. So we got to the house and took her temp, which was reading 104! We immediately took her to the ER. They were so  accommodating at the hospital; took her back right away and we didn't wait long to be seen and tested to figure out what was going on. She ended up having the Roseola virus. Poor thing :(. So that is how we started our trip. We spent the next few days taking it easy while Riley got better. By Thursday she was feeling much better, which was really nice to Thanksgiving. We spent the day with Mike's parents, his brother & sister-in-law (who have a baby on the way!). We watched football, took a stroll around the neighborhood and enjoyed a delicious meal together. It was the perfect, relaxing family time we were looking forward to.  The rest of our trip was spent out and about and how enjoying time together. We also went out to dinner a few times while down in SC.  We got home late Saturday night and spent Sunday decorating for Christmas and doing a little bit of Christmas shopping. Overall, a wonderful (albeit tough week starting out) week. We are so grateful for time with family and all the other wonderful blessings in our life.
