Chapel Hill, NC

Last weekend we went to Chapel Hill North Carolina to visit some of our friends the Bagleys. It is actually David's friend from Othello and they have kept in contact over the years. they came down and visited us for a weekend and we had a such a great time touring Charleston, so we went up to Chapel hill. There was a basketball game that weekend and we really wanted to go but there were no tickets available. David was pretty bummed about that, considering the basketball dome literally was is the Bagleys back yard.
It rained all weekend so we visited two different McDonald's and let the kids play. One of the McDonald's was redone and it was awesome. Generally I am not a big McDonald's advocate but this one was great. it had stone walls, with a lounge area with 2 flat panel TV's, a fireplace, a little waterfall. It was awesome.
Besides McDonald's, we went to a natural history museum and it was really great. We just had fun hanging out with our friends.
Incidentally, our heat in our van didn't work and with the rain it was pretty cold. we bundled up the kids for the ride home and about 30 minutes outside Charleston is started to get pretty toasty...... ironically,,,, yesterday our heat started to work... where was that last weekend?????

I'm glad you had a chance to visit old friend. It's too bad the weather didn't cooperate. Maybe the heater was running only on faith...
