A Visit to North Carolina

Last week Suzette and I went to North Carolina to visit our brother and his family. Rick has just completed his first year of medical school at Wake Forest and he and his wife have just added a new bundle of joy to their family. We had a great time!! Everett is an an incredibly sweet and very cute baby! We also really enjoyed playing with their 18 month old, Carson. He is a whiz kid and already knows his colors and letters.
We enjoyed our time in Winston-Salem and were able to visit Old Salem, a shopping village, and an antique mall. We also enjoyed some late night games of cards and speed scrabble.

Suzette and I also road tripped to Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington for a little sister time. We had a great time at the beach (I was the only one with an umbrella because the chemo intensifies the sun) and enjoyed a long walk while finding shells for the boys. We also found an antique furniture store with already refurbished furniture and amazing shipping rates. Suzette scored some great finds and I chickened out....
A special thanks to RIck and Page for being such wonderful hosts and to my parents for watching the boys so that Suzette and I could get away!!
