Visitors Galore

We've also had lots of great visitors coming to see us in NC lately (which we love!).

Kiera, Ryan and Natalie came to visit a few weeks back. They were headed back from Ryan's brother's wedding in South Carolina so stopped in Durham on the way home. We had a great weekend with them including a stop at the Marbles Museum in Raleigh (children's science and discovery museum).

I fulfilled my need to serve as a paparrazi and took a million pics. There was this cool Mr. Potato Head exhibit where the kids could dress up the Potato Heads with all sorts of accessories - needless to say, Natalie loved it!



There was lots of other fun stuff as well - big blocks for building, dress up clothes, etc. All in all, a fun girls' outing while the boys were off golfing!


We also had a crazy day where my parents came to visit as they were driving down to Hilton Head. They dropped by to check out the progress that we've made on the house including the new deck and screen porch. Then later that day our buddy Shazia (one of my roomies from college) came to visit since she was in town visiting her family.

The following weekend, Ginny and Geoff came down for the weekend. It was a last minute, pretty spontaneous trip, which was super fun. Geoff is a big University of Maryland fan and since UMd football was in town playing Duke, they decided to come down for the big game (completely crazy to say the "big game" in reference to Duke football!). But Duke is actually starting to get a bit better and they actually pulled out another win!


Thank goodness they won because it DOWNPOURED during the game. Seriously, poured down buckets - we were completely drenched by halftime.



After the football game, we were able to get tickets for a Duke basketball scrimmage that evening at Cameron indoor stadium. So it turned in to a full day of Duke sports!

Duke bball played a small NC university named Pfeiffer and completely kicked their butts! But it was fun to watch and Brad got a ton of great pics from our seats way up in the stands (literally, second to last row - but Cameron is so small, you never really have a bad seat).



It was a great visit with Ginny and Geoff - Cosmic Cantina for lunch, a Duke football win and then getting to see a pre-season men's basketball scrimmage in Cameron indoor! AWESOME!
