North Carolina Part II

The rest of the story....the rest of our time was spent having even more fun with one another. We visited a town called New Bern...named after Bern, Switzerland. New Bern had many old homes that were absolutely beautiful! The first Governor's house was also built there, it's called Tryon Palace. It too was very nice. Today we visited the state Capital. I have been before, but Heather had not been. It's small compared to our capital building in MO. but it's nice. We are headed home tomorrow, I will be sad to leave...not knowing when I might see my friends again. I've included a slideshow to show you some more pictures.

Fun in NC

On Tuesday, August 5, 2008 Heather and I headed out for North Carolina by way of airplane. Our flights were at different times, but that didn't make any difference. We ended up at the same place! Here in NC we are visiting with good friends Jon & Jen Bart. They are actually more like family to me. We met Jon & Jen when we were in Taiwan on a mission trip in 2005. Right away I loved both of them! They came to visit us in St. Louis in 2006 and I visited them in NC last year. I will add more pictures later, but I wanted to share with you our adventures so far. We have visited the Bentonville Battlefield, Ron's Barn (a resturant), we have played Bocce Ball, picked blueberries, and endured a few bug bites! So far we are having a wonderful time and I'm enjoying myself. I'm so thankful and so blessed to have friends like Jon & Jen. They also have a 1 year old named Micah, and this was our first time meeting him. He's so adorable! Well, I will share much more about our trip later...but for now, sit back, relax, eat some popcorn, and enjoy the show!
