The Gals Road Tripping to



March 15-17, 2002

With our host extraordinaire, Kelly Eppley!

Truth or Dare Jenga


Denise gets nose to nose on Kelly's Dare...
...while Kristen does a slow dance with a Swiffer (L), and Pam spins 10 times and falls down (R).

Don't these angels look sunny after a night of partying? There was little sleep, but a lot of fun!
Hungover? You be the judge. Clearly, the lack of sleep is showing here. :)

The plaid pajama twins on the left provided a visual test pattern that was headache-inducing for those of us on 3 hours of sleep.

Note below that Denise and Kristen demonstrate that there was a lot of snuggling, giggling and spooning -- causing an unusual amount of personal space invasion -- right Kelly?

Denise is the angel...copping some zzzzs after the night out. Kelly sprawled on the sofa bed, but it wasn't long before...
...her space was invaded... ..and a smashed Kelly sandwich tested her "intestinal fortitude."
Another "tired but happy" pic. Have mercy! Look what the cat dragged in.

Finally Out and About

We finally got our act together on Saturday afternoon, cleaned up and headed out for some sightseeing. Here we all are, taking in downtown Greenville. The gussied up a fountain with green for St. Patrick's Day.

 

 

Kelly clearly enjoyed playing the tour guide. We're blending in the background, but it's Kelly, Kristen and Pam on the bridge with Denise on the Palm cam.
Kristen is insanely climbing a tree in Reedy River Park. Kelly was a gracious host and later took us out for a fun evening downtown.

Night out in downtown Greenville

Out on the town with doggie bags from Cafe Trio. The food was great, the service bizarre (how long did it take for the waitress to make change, lol?). It was a bit loud there, so we headed to... ...the Coffee Underground next, where we met Kelly's wonderful friend Melissa, who shared a laugh with the Wild Bunch. We were served by Sam the Waiter, who was amusingly rude in a nice way.
Now this guy in the middle, ironically named Kevin Middleton, is a complete stranger that infiltrated a perfectly nice picture. Is he drunk, or is it just a huge ego frat boy thing? We have taken the liberty of erasing Kevin M. from the picture, if not from our memories! We had a great time meeting all of Kelly's friends here -- sorry we didn't get pix of Nicole and Sarah!


Kelly's friend Kathleen showed up to add to the fun; she entertained us with a horrifying back pack story, and we just about died laughing. This photo is toward the end of a fun evening out. Thanks to Sam for taking the pic!
