Where do I start? It was a great weekend with a few issues that started to drag me down but I rallied through them. We had a wedding to go to at Duke on Saturday night. It was a Vet school classmate of Lyn’s and they were getting married at the Duke Chapel. So we decided Saturday morning we would get an early start and head to my parents place, drop the kids off, and head to the wedding. Luckily it was a 6pm wedding.
Saturday morning we left around 9:30am. First stop Winston-Salem for the girls to eat and take a little break from the car. I also had a little work to do in WS so it was a perfect stop. Ya…well that went down the tubes fast. My work that was supposed to take about 30 minutes maybe an hour turned into 3 hours of hell. I’m not going to go into details but let’s just say when all the wheels fall of the wagon it’s no fun.
I think it was around 2:15pm when we left WS and still had a 2 hour drive to the grandparent’s house and another 45 minute drive to the wedding which I remind you was at 6pm. We got to the house at 4:30pm and unload everything, ironed my clothes, got all cleaned up at light speed, and where on our way at about 5:10pm.
We made it to the wedding right when the bride was getting ready to walk down. Wow…we actually made it. The Duke Chapel is AMAZING!!!! It was beautiful! You would see people at the wedding looking around at the chapel during the wedding. It was mesmerizing.
After the wedding we headed to the reception at an art museum. On our way to the reception we drove through the campus and wow….no wonder why it’s crazy expensive to attend Duke. The campus was one of a kind. Most places are all cement but not this place. I know where my poor kids will never be able to go college.
The reception was really nice and we stayed until about 9pm. Big night for us old folks with kids. We headed back to the grandparent’s house to put Claire to bed and get some sleep ourselves.
Sunday was a lot of lounging for the first half of the day. That was needed. We took the girls to a nice park a few miles from the house that had some talking trees. Paige enjoyed the hiking and had a blast with all the insects. She was hold ladybugs, worms, caterpillars, and frogs.
This morning we got up and headed back home. Another couple hour stop in WS and we were back in Asheville a little after 5pm. It was a great time seeing family and friends.
