Most of the time we have spent here has been shopping and exploring a few of the local towns. As soon as we arrived in Charlotte airport we were greeted with a couple of Lauren's mates who managed and it took much convincing I assure you t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Raleigh/blog-355424.html Ok so for some reason I am missing NC tonight It might be because my house is so quiet because everyone has gone out but I am missing many things from home....I am missing LKW southern accents MC cornhuskin football and i dont mean soccer southern cooking mary and april brown. driving down Ebeneezer church rd in the fall with the leaves changing the fair Mema southern homes the beach http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Raleigh/blog-341365.html Today on our cross country trip around the U.S.A. we stopped by to pep at the obama rally in raleigh haha theyre like homophones lol anyways... it was really fun. my dad gave campaign money so we got in and I got an awesome tshirt with his face that says One Hope.
