Spring Travel

In April, we made a road trip around North Carolina. We began in Raleigh with a quick stop at Carrie Paschke's house to see she, Dan, and their three kiddos. Then off to Wilmington to see the Carpenters, then to Charlotte for a visit with Justin and Caroline Hipps, and then to see my cousins in the Chapel Hill area.

I love North Carolina. We love our friends there. And it was tough to leave.

Our trip to Wilmington was such a wonderful vacation. Liz and I haven't gotten that much time around each other in years and to combine families for a few days was so fun. She and Parks were such great hosts. They are both amazing cooks, tour guides, and parents. Lily Kate and Charlotte made us feel so welcome, too. They are adorable, amazing little girls.

We went to Wrightsville Beach, out in downtown Wilmington, to the park, and as pictured below, the strawberry patch. Emory got her first taste of homemade ice cream, and she liked it.
