Today we headed out to Jordan Lake to relax and have lunch with some friends. A bit warmer than the rest of the week has been but still a great day to be outside. We packed a picnic lunch and spent time eating and playing in the water. I got to play with my camera a bit so here are some pictures from our afternoon outing.

4th of July (A little late!)

Some pictures from vacation!

Saturday night Mike and I drove up to Durham to meet our friends Liz and Mike at their new apartment. My friend Amy had also driven down from MD to spend the weekend in NC with Liz. So we all piled into the car and headed into Chapel Hill for a yummy dinner at Lime & Basil (or fruit &; herb – according to Liz!). We found parking, ate dinner and walked around – all before the UNC basketball game ended! Franklin St. was a zoo after the game – glad we weren’t there! We also stopped at a hole …
Weekend Events
This past weekend was fairly eventful. We didn’t get to do the youth service project due to rain. Not much fun to walk around the neighborhood collecting canned foods in the pouring rain.

Here is my favorite shot from …
