Tonight's picture was taken in June of 2008. I remember this day very well. It was Mattie's end of the year kindergarten party. The class went to a park that day. There were activities, pizza, and the opportunity to give the teachers gifts. In this photo, Mattie was sitting between his two closest friends, Charlotte and Campbell. Well according to Mattie, he was going to marry Charlotte, and according to Charlotte, Mattie and Campbell were going to be her college roommates. They were an adorable trio!

We hit a lot of traffic driving to Raleigh, NC today. It took us over 5 hours. Some how we seem road weary, or at least I do. Many of the roads in NC look like this! It is beautiful, a lot of greenery and very little congestion.
This NC shaped shrub greeted us as we crossed the border into the State. I did my best to capture it, but moving at highway speed makes it challenging.
After we checked into the hotel, we decided to walk a bit around Raleigh. If you look down this road the building in the distance is the State Capital.
This is Raleigh's performing arts center. It is a beautiful complex and literally right next door is Shaw University.
I love this giant acorn that greets you in front of the Duke Center performing arts complex. It is 10-feet-tall and 8-feet-wide, and is considered a public-art piece saluting the city's nickname as the "City of Trees."
