Durham Bulls Game

Last night we went to the Durham Bulls game . . . an outing my company provided.   It was SO muggy and hot we didn’t stay for the whole thing, and it felt like it got warmer once the sun went down.  blah.  But we did get free Durham Bukks baseball caps and the food was great 🙂

Chimenea

For our anniversary, Gary’s parents gave us a metal Chimenea and it is now assembled!  It’s living on our front porch since it’s small and very very hot out.  I put a flower in it for an added touch:

More surfing . . . you may remember when I blogged about our photo on the website of the minister that married us [see the post] I came across his website (www.joinedtogetherweddings.com) which has been updated and I love the new lay out. I also love that he still used a photo from our wedding. One on the main page and also the header for his website 🙂

Vacation!

Thursday to Sunday Gary was in New York for two Baseball games with his dad and his granddad. Gary’s mom and I left for the mountains on Saturday and Gary and his dad met us in the mountains on Sunday evening. Here is a shot Gary sent me from his camera phone from yankee stadium.

Saturday we drove around and found an art festival to walk around, and we went to a Mast General Store. We pulled over to look at our directions and there were some abandoned buildings that I liked. 30.jpg

and then we went to dinner but had a 30 minute wait

Sunday we went to the Biltmore Estate which was fun, followed by the winery which wasn’t that impressive, and then we saw a little petting zoo which was near the winery.

Shots at the Biltmore:

The gardens were lovely and very well kept. The flowers were gorgeous and all in bloom.

Evidently you aren’t allowed to take photos inside the house, but I didn’t see a sign and until someone said something I got a few shots of the inside 🙂

afterwards we went to lunch and sat outside. It started raining and then hailing! Pea sized hail and a lot of rain which lasted about 20 to 30 minutes. Then the sun came out and it was fine the rest of the day.

Sunday we went window shopping, had dinner and Gary and I headed home. A fun trip and very relaxing. Back to work for both of us tomorrow!
