Hello Spring?

Getting acquainted with the roads in North Carolina I found quite a challenge. After I dropped Brigham, Kellie and the baby at the airport I tried to drive straight home to get ready for a day of shopping and sight seeing. That would not be the be the case. I being over confident and greatly directionally challenged ended up in Raleigh, instead of Durham. Thank goodness Justin can direct me home from 900 miles away.

My Week in North Carolina was Fabulous.

I dined at the finest southern restaurants; The Cracker Barrel, The Waffle House and McDonald's. aka The Crapper Barrel, The Awful House and Crapdonalds. Abbie later commented that she though the food at the Waffle Houses was delicious, but they had a small problem with sanitation there.

I visited Civil War sites http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/sections/hs/bennett/bennett.htm

Abbie, Grant & I decorated little foam Christmas Trees...

Then played Giant Baby and stomped through the forest to destroy the trees.

I was so happy to see little E-Clair's chubby cheeks.

I had such a good time it was really hard to leave. The fun with the Kids, the beautiful Spring like weather and back to the land of the frozen Midwest.
