Road Trip!

So this weekend was sooo much fun!!  Nathan and I decided to take a road trip to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences up in Raleigh since we both had the weekend off of work. :)  It was a long drive, though it didn't feel like it was that bad going up, though coming home we were both tired, so it made for a much longer drive. When we arrived, the place they had to parking was filled to the max, so we had to drive about a block away and park on the street like the other cars were doing. It was a nice day, so I didn't mind the walk, despite it being a little bit chilly outside. :)  When we arrived to the museum, we went into one building first and walked around downstairs and into the gift shop. After that, we proceeded to head into the main museum where we began our journey by walking around looking at all the really neat things they had. Each floor was a little bit different, complete from dinosaurs to the forest, and everything in between! It was really fun to see all the things they had on display and they way it was laid out. :) I especially liked the huge waterfall they had in the forest exhibit! I thought it was really cool! :) After walking through the first couple of floors we stopped to eat some lunch b/c Nathan was starving and we hadn't really eaten anything, so we got some food, which was delicious! :) I had  a ham sandwhich, and nathan had fries, and pizza. :) It was a nice break from the walking, and filled out bellies up until next time we would eat! :) After lunch we proceeded to walk around the last floors in the museum only before finishing up there and hunting for all the down escalators! haha! :)  After we were done walking around we went into the gift shop and I found a cute heart shape necklace and i got that to remember our road trip! :)  Once we were done walking around the museum, we proceeded to hop back into the car and drive home. On our way back home, we stopped in gso so i could stop into Jakes and say hey, and show Nathan where i went to college, and the place we always hung out at. We didn't stay in town long and soon enough we were on our way to concord mills mall to walk around there for a bit. :) While walking around, we stopped in the disney store :D and also walked into the bass pro shop and books a million. The mall had really changed since I was there last, and I couldn't believe it! It was a nice break from being in the car all day b/c i'm pretty sure we were both sick of siting on our bums! haha! :) After the mall we headed to blockbuster to grab some movies and then went to get some food so we could have something to eat. We got back to his place and put in grandma's boy and ate our dinner. After that movie finished up we put in man on fire, which i fell asleep about half way through. I said i was going to take a 30 minute nao, but i ended up sleeping all night long! After that movie...i think natthan started to watch blade trinity, but he passed out in the middle so when we got up this morning, we finished watching that, as well as legend of the guardians and charlie st. cloud. Both of which were pretty good! :)  During Charlie St. Cloud, Amber and Kenzie showed up and they stayed and hung out with us for the rest of the day until Brandon got off of work later. When he showed up they stayed for a little bit, and then headed out about 8pm or so. I was next to go, and I headed homje around 9pm for Nathan could get some sleep since he has to be up at like 4ish or so for work rtomorrow. I also have to get up early,. but not near thaaaat early. Speaking of early..it's now about 11:30pm and I need to say goodnight and hit the hay! So until next time....This is the blob saying, adios!
