NC Trip!

For the weekend of the 4th... I got to go on a weekend trip and see some of my girlfriends that I haven't seen in a long time.  Some, I haven't seen in over a year!  I didn't get to go on any of the trips the past few years because I had either A. no money or B. too much work to do for school or C. Both! I had a great time with the girls.  It was an event packed weekend so I can't say it was a relaxing vacation.  But still definitely much needed and well deserved.

Thursday, we spent the whole day driving down.  My boyfriend was so proud when I told him I only needed to stop to pee twice.  We hung out and had some wine at the apartment I was staying at.  Friday we did a little laying out at the pool and then had a cookout at my friends new house.  After that we headed downtown to a piano bar.  This was by far my favorite night!  Saturday I made one of my friends take me to the gym.  We went to the mall after and met up with the other girls.  I didn't plan to get anything but I ended up getting a cute dress from H&M (my shopping kryptonyte).  That evening we had a yummy dinner at a restaurant call The Pit and then headed to a club.  I realized the club scene it not really my thing anymore.  I prefer a place where you can sit around and talk and dance like fools if you want (like at the piano bar!)  Sunday was the beach day.  We had a bit of a late start...but it was worth it in the end. After a 2 hour drive...we had issues finding a place to park along the street.  We seriously ended up paying some old man to park in his driveway (hey, desperate times call for desperate measures).  We finally got to the beach and I got some quality time with the sun!  I was a bad girl and didn't put on sun screen so I was a bit lobsterfied that night! (I'm tan now...hahaha!) We had an AMAZING dinner and then went out to a few places.  Most of us are not used to going out this many nights in a row and we were so sleepy from the sun.  This was probably every one's least favorite night. Monday was just a LAZY day! We hung out in our PJ's pretty much the entire day...took a trip to Target and went to Wild Wings, had the best veggie quesadilla of my LIFE and then ended the night watching Justin Beiber's Never Say Never (don't judge!).  As luck would have it...it was stormy and rainy so I didn't get to see any fireworks on the 4th.  Tuesday it was time to go home.  Of course the flight home couldn't be simple. I won't go into too much detail...but let's just say we got to the airport at 2:30pm and I didn't get to my house until 1:30am.  (I estimated to be home by 8:30pm).  I've never been so happy to see my luggage after all of the confusion with the airlines.

Overall, I had lots of fun and miss everyone already.  There were some hilarious moments not mentioned in this blog, but I'll have the memories forever.  I hope I can go back sometime soon!

Downtown by the Beach before dinner!

I had a bit of an obsession with mustaches over the weekend...this was my souvenir! It's a wine opener!

Hope everyone had a nice Holiday weekend!!
