Our nephew David, was getting married on June 28th in North 
Carolina. Our 21st anniversary was June 27 so we decided to make a weekend of it in Raleigh, North Carolina. We drove up Friday and the next day while the girls slept in, Norm and I went to a farmer's market. It was huge! The biggest I have ever been to and had great produce. We bought some beautiful eggplant (the girls' new favorite meal-eggplant burgers), peaches and blueberries. We got back back and got ready for the wedding.
Now the directions were a little dubious; turn left at the propane tank on 65W. We got lost wouldn't you know (hey, we weren't the only ones) and were late. Well, we made it for the pictures at least. It was great seeing David, his new bride Lila, Norma, Richard, Michael and Hallie along with Richard's Uncle Bob and Aunt Sis. It was more humid and hotter than Knoxville but not too bad.
Before we left Raleigh, we went to an old fashioned pharmacy soda fountain just like the Andy Grifith days (we even visited the Andy Grifith statue-the show was based on the area around Raleigh-remember Barney getting a job in Raleigh?)
We also visited the Museum of Natural History which was terrific along with the Musuem of History that housed the Musuem of Sports. We saw a replica of the Wright Bros. plane and Richard Petty's car is on display.
We had a great time and could have spent more time there. When Norm told one of his coworkers we were going to North Carolina they said it looked like East Tennessee; they we sure right-very pretty. It's great have a little family close by. -Tina
