I was walking around downtown recently when I stumbled across the new guides and magazines from @visityorkcountysc and I honestly ended up flipping through every page right there!

The books are beautifully designed and do such a great job showcasing everything that makes York County so special.

Inside, they highlight local restaurants, shops, events, outdoor spots, and fun things to do all around YoCo. They also had the cutest kids activity book available, which was such a fun addition for families.

If you’re downtown, definitely stop by and grab one for yourself. ☀️

Yesterday we stopped by @theinsidescoopcreamery.sc and tried the viral fruit pop ice cream… and WOW. 🍑🍦 We got the peach one and it literally tasted just like biting into a fresh peach, with creamy vanilla ice cream in the middle. So refreshing, so flavorful, and absolutely perfect for a warm day. If you haven’t tried these yet, you’re missing out!

#rockhillshops #rockhillsc #theinsidescoop #viralfruiticecream

Finally got to try @bearwalrus and wow… absolutely incredible. The grilled pimento cheese sandwich was next-level delicious — perfectly melty, crispy, and packed with flavor. The macaroni and cheese? Honestly to die for. Creamy, cheesy perfection. And then the banana pudding for dessert completely sealed the deal.

If you haven’t been to BearWalrus yet, you’re missing out. Definitely one of the best comfort food meals I’ve had in a long time. 🔥🧀🍌
