North Carolina Adventures
After Nashville, it was off to North Carolina! In true traveling fashion, I was sick the first two days. This was mainly a result of some extreme schedule cramming the few days before leaving for Nashville, which I think ultimately tired my body out. “Luckily” Emily didn’t take the first two days of my stay off work, so while she went to work, I got my rest in, and was charged up and ready for dinner those two days.
Carlo’s family was also in town so it was quite the party in Durham! We all went out to dinner the first night, and then walked around downtown Durham.
Front porch lunch! BLTs, sweet tea, potato chips, grapes and vanilla ice cream topped with chopped nectarines.
Duke Gardens with Em and the Diy's, feeding the ducks!

I would have obeyed the sign on the basket, but in all honesty, I really don't get that many chances to dunk on a real rim. Shocking huh?
Battier and G.Hill!
Cameron. Just like Maples. It definitely felt a WHOLE lot smaller than it looks on TV.
Gotta represent the women too. Alana beard, one of the all-time greats
Had to take a picture sitting in these porch chairs
Outdoor concert at the American Tobacco Campus
Pigging out on tasting bites of pastrami biscuits and white cheddar and egg biscuits from Neal's Deli. Em takes such good candid eating shots! (www.nealsdeli.com)
Neal's Deli ! Carrboro, North Carolina
Benjamin Vineyards wine tasting at the Chapel Hill Farmers Market as part of Taste of Carolina food tour. Muscadine wines...so tasty!
Who knew coffee brewing had to be this precise. Timing it on his iphone and measurements in his notebook.
Delicious curry and hibiscus tea at Vimala's Curry Blossom Cafe in Chapel Hill, NC. A woman with a great story, who serves the community that she lives in. ( http://www.curryblossom.com)
Who would have thought that I would see more Pomona people in NC than I have in a few months. I wish I had gotten a picture with Thandiwe and Jordan. It sure didn’t feel like 4 years had passed since we had seen each other. So thankful for wonderful friends with incredible passions.
Emily's homemade okra and tomatoes! So delicious! Coupled with a bojangles sausage biscuit!
Dame's Chicken and Waffles! The perfect morning brunch before heading home...even if we did have to wait hours to eat.
Until next time North Carolina!
