Mice On Main

A couple weeks ago, my boyfriend and I were looking for a way to enjoy the nice weather and decided to check out the "Mice on Main" in downtown Greenville, SC.  For anyone who doesn't know, this was an idea that a local high school student, Jimmy Ryan, had for his Senior project.  In doing so, he created a unique way to explore downtown Greenville.  His idea was based on the children's book Goodnight Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown.  There is a bronze statue of the first mouse and the book in front of the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Main Street.  From there, you do a scavenger hunt down Main Street with clues that help you find the other eight mice scattered down the street.  It may sound childish, but we had a great time trying to find the mice and even turned it in to a competition.  I have to say, Greg was a little better at spotting the tiny bronze mice than I was. Some of them were very difficult to find which made it even more entertaining.  If you ever want to try it out, there is a list of the clues for finding the mice on the following website:  Mice on Main.  All you have to do is print off the clues and head to the Hyatt Regency and you will be good to go.  Below are some pictures that we took along the way.  If you plan on doing this sometime, you might not want to look too closely at the pictures, as the whereabouts of some of the mice may be pretty evident and I wouldn't want to spoil the fun!
