We spent last week in Greenville, South Carolina. Cori was working at one of the Michelin plants for the week and David was busy trying to finish his presentation for his dissertation proposal. It was a busy week for us, but a nice getaway too.
On, June 2nd we celebrated David's 27th birthday at a place called Quaker Steak and Lube for All You Can Eat Wing Night - David's favorite. They specialize in buffalo wings of every flavor you can imagine. They are also famous for their Atomic Wings which boast a Scoville Heat Unit of 150,000. The Scoville unit was developed in 1912 by Wilbur Scoville to measurement for the heat level of chile peppers. A number was assigned to each chile pepper based on how much liquid was needed before you would no longer taste (feel) the heat!
According to the menu:
0-999 = Mild
1,000-2,999 = Medium
3,000-30,000 = Hot
30,001+ = Insane
0-999 = Mild
1,000-2,999 = Medium
3,000-30,000 = Hot
30,001+ = Insane
So in essence David = Extremely Insane for eating 4 Atomic Wings + the addition of countless other wing flavors throughout the night. Needless to say we had to find an ice cream shop later that night for birthday dessert and to stop him from sweating.
On Friday we experienced a Scottish Festival going on in downtown Greenville. It was complete with a parade of kilt wearing, bag-pipe playing, proud Scots. It was fun to see them all dressed up. We took Saturday and drove a different way back to Louisville. We drove through Atlanta, Ga and saw the Coca-Cola Headquarters and the Olympic Park. We would love to go back another time when we can really experience the city. We also stopped at a few National Parks - Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, Tenn and Stone River National Battlefield, Tenn - which were battlefields during the Civil War. We enjoyed learning about the history of this area. It is amazing to be somewhere that was so important to the history of our great nation. We enjoyed seeing the new territory. As usual Murphy and Oakley wasted no time getting their rest.

Sooooo Sleepy...
On Sunday, we went to the mall to support Metro Animal Services who was holding a shelter supply drive in return for a photo of you and your pets. With some treat coaxing we were able to get a great shot of the Burnett family and also help out our four-legged friends at the animal shelter.
