Our first trip

Todd and I just returned from our first trip together - just us and no kids. This is the first trip we have taken alone together since before we had Kayden.

It was weird but nice. It was nice to just get away and enjoy each other's company and not have to worry about naps, diapers, chicken fingers for lunch, last minute potty runs. It was us time - a chance for us to do what we wanted and to reconnect.

We decided to visit North Carolina. It was my first visit there and it was beautiful - hot but beautiful.

We started our trip with a baseball game to the Greensboro Grasshoppers to watch Curtis Petersen pitch. It was so great! We miss watching him so this was a lot of fun.We spent all day Friday in Greensboro, watched another Grasshoppers game which was great because they beat the Virginia Power 8-3 (or something great like that).

Saturday was spent in going here for NC style BBQ and then running over to Chapel Hill to tour here. It was so amazingly beautiful. I would move to Chapel Hill in a heartbeat! Saturday night included a dinner including the best steak I've ever had and then finishing the night off at the Durham Performing Arts Center to watch a contemporary dance show. It was interesting.

Sunday was breakfast with Curtis, catching a movie and then heading out to Austin for the best BBQ ever. We loved it so much we're going back...but also just to hang in Austin because it's one of my favorite cities.

After being gone so long, it was great to return to these faces....although, they weren't really phased by the fact that we were gone.
