and we're off

I only slept about 4 hours last night and am totally exhausted, but excited too. I worked late yesterday and spent way too long packing and preparing the house for my trip. My sister (Laura) arrived at my house around 11 a.m. We took the dogs to Funnybones, picked up lunch from Chik-fil-a, returned home to pack the car and then began our drive to Wrightsville Beach, NC. We arrived around 7 p.m. and stopped at Szechuan 132 for chinese dinner before checking into the Hilton Garden Inn. The drive was long but really enjoyed catching up on each others lives during the drive. We're going to have fun tomorrow!!!
