My "Michigan friend" Alison and I just got back from a long weekend in NC & VA. We had a great time .... here is a recap and a few pictures.
On Thursday Apr 10th, we landed in Raleigh around noon. First, we met up with my brother Jacob and sister-in-law Ashley for lunch. We went back to their townhome so I could visit with my "nieces and nephew." Next, we headed to North Raleigh to visit Kim & Maddy. Maddy has grown SO much since I last saw her in December! Finally, we had dinner with Kim and Carrie at McGregor Draft House, and then drove to Danville. We stayed at Martha, Roger and Anne Rylee's new house (thanks again for letting us be your houseguests!)
Friday started with the biggest pancakes ever - Roger took us to a nearby restaurant and Alison had her first sweet tea! The rest of the day was "family day." My Mom rounded up the troops (I have a rather large family) and we had a nice fish fry at my parents' house. The weather was gorgeous so we sat outside all day, caught up with my family and enjoyed some tasty food. Friday night we had pizza with Martha, then hung out at her place.
Saturday was a busy day - we started with lunch w/ my brother, Bryce @ Hams - I love their fried chips! Next, we attended Steph's baby shower - here is a pic from the shower:

Saturday night we met several friends at San Marco's for dinner. Amy, Jim and Marissa were in from Charlotte, Prul came down from Richmond, Mayhan from Burlington and Lesley from Durham. D-ville was represented by Martha, Steph, Stacy, MP and Gena. Here is a picture of the dinner attendees (minus Amy, Jim & Gena, who was taking the pic!)
L to R: Mayhan, Prul, Stacy, Keely, Alison, Martha, Marissa, Steph, Lesley
Our flight left out of RDU around 4:30pm, so we did not have much time on Sunday. We did manage to squeeze in lunch with my parents, Popey and cousin Kristin at Rockola. Then we made the drive back to NC and flew back to Michigan.
It was a great time, the weather was wonderful and I cannot wait to see my family and friends again soon. Thanks again to everyone who spent time with us - LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
