Weekend Recap: Visiting NC

I had a fantastic weekend in North Carolina with Chris. I hadn't seen him for a few weeks and I really missed him! Since he only moved to Chapel Hill in July, this was really the first time I had been down to see where he lives in person.

Highlights from the weekend included:
Clockwise: 1, 2, 3, 4.

  1. Chris giving me flowers when he picked me up from the airport. He's a keeper. I also included this photo to prove that I do wear things other than workout gear.
  2. Taking a walk in the North Carolina Botanical Garden with butterflies that seemed oblivious to my paparazzi-ing. I also learned that venus flytraps and a number of other carnivorous plants are native to the Carolinas! Seriously? I thought those things were for sure from the Amazonian rainforest or some other exotic locale. Nope. Bogs of the Carolinas.
  3. Going out on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill and getting drinks at The Crunkleton. I'm told this bar is sort of a staple in Chapel Hill so I'm glad I got to check it out and enjoy a delicious beverage.
  4. Spending some time with Chris' family at their lake house near Charlotte. We went out on the boat (I'm getting pretty good at wake surfing!) and played tennis. I even got a run in and convinced a few family members to join me for yoga! It was so nice to take a little mini vacation before summer is gone for good.
What adventures did you all get up to this weekend?
