South Carolina. \u00a0Once again, we got three hotel rooms and, since everyone was feeling relatively good and it was still pretty early, we decided to order in some dinner. \u00a0Our first attempt failed when the BBQ joint did not have a dinner-time vegetarian option, so we ordered Papa John\u2019s, threw <em>Pitch Perfect II<\/em> on the television, and then decided to call it a night and retreat to our separate rooms.<span id=\"more-10167\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The following morning, we enjoyed the free breakfast before heading out to try and finish up the remaining 450 miles to get to
