Thursday we went to a late night raging concert at Cat's Cradle to hear from independent bands Jenny Owens Young and Jukebox the Ghost. Highly recommended if you ever get a chance to come to Chapel Hill, but bring your earplugs, they like to jam (hard).
Friday was breakfast at a German bakery called Guglhupf. They sell excellent pastries and artisan breads. We then took her on the campus tours of Duke and Carolina. Later that night, we met on the Carolina Inn Back Porch for a picnic, live music, duck-duck-goose and dancing.

Fun with Dannielle
Saturday was spent at the lake house with Doctor Fowler and other co-workers of Mat's. The water is always warm and distilled since it is used to cool the power plants near by. Sounds weird, but it's the best of both worlds and a beautiful relationship that the plant and the lake have--everyone wins, including the people!
The kids jumped from raft, to tube, to trampoline, from raft, to tube, to trampoline, repeat, repeat, repeat

Shooting a few hoops before we hit the road.
Sunday we went to the Duke Gardens just after a fresh rainstorm. The weather was just right with a side of --cool breeze

Newly found Japanese House where we could practice our meditation as a family
And of course the flowers

I need a house on a lake, badly. It is my dream
MMMM I love those pretty breads at Guglhupf. That lake looks awesome. Glad you were still able to make it out to Cat's Cradle, we'll have to check it out sometime.
I don't know if it is just the awesome photos but I swear you do the coolest things! And it looks so romantic and spontaneous and whimsical and fun. Love it!
Looks like a beautiful and fun place to visit! Ben and I hit the Carolina's during the Hershey days and we sure liked the BBQ! Ben just made it the other day and we devoured it! Are you sad to move?
