A Dream Come True

A dream come true. That's what happened when The Four took our road trip to NC. For years, we've (The Four) talked in passing of taking a road trip, and now it finally has happened. It's in the past now which is weird to think about.

We had such an amazing time together. We are similar enough, so we travel well together. Yet, we're each our own person with different thoughts, opinions, and experiences which adds tot the color of our time together. We enjoy the same car activities--listening to music, watching movies/shows, reading, sleeping, and reading trivial pursuit cards (yes we are that nerdy), so there's really no bickering over what we should do as we drive. We're also good travelers, so we know how to drive for four or five hours straight, or we know when to be quite so the driver can focus.

We had a fabulous time visiting friends. With our NC friends, we spent the time together setting up for a wedding and then participating in the wedding. Our days we're packed with church and reception set-up plus all of the craziness of family and friends coming to visit. We also all got to experience the evil-psycho-flower-lady, whom I yelled at twice because she was so crazy and frustrating. The best part was getting away Thursday night after the rehearsal and heading to the beach at 10:30 at night with The Four and our close friends. The beach is gorgeous at night, especially when there's a full moon. With our SC friends, we enjoyed a quiet day of talking, shopping, eating, and watching Olympics. I enjoyed getting to know their cat--Mr. Darcy.

We loved getting to visit our brother Matt and his wife Michelle. We got to see their newly remodeled house which is just beautiful. We ate some amazing pizza, and we learned all about the Olympic sport of speed-walking. Which, if you're interested, Olympic speed-walking has some interesting videos to show what the sport of speed-walking is all about. We caught up and filled each other in on the latest gossip. Even though we had such a short time with them, we had such a wonderful time.

All in all the trip was wonderful. I'm not sure if The Four will ever take a road trip again, but if not, we will have good memories of when we were able to make a dream become reality.
