Let's Hit the Road Jack!

I have this overachieving thought of "If I can't go all out, then don't go!" and that is often the reason pictures of great family events are not posted. I never have time to post them all so I end up never posting any of them. This time I am going to try to do the Labor Day Weekend pictures in stages so hopefully I can put all the pictures I want to and it will not take as long.

So first up... the drive to Little Switzerland!!

Kris, Chrissy, Kai, and I drove together in the CRV from Durham and left around 5pm. Aunt Jeanne landed at the Gboro airport at 6pm and Paul and Meghan picked her up from there. After going around lots of traffic, we drove through Gboro around the time Paul, Meghan, and Aunt Jeanne were leaving the airport. So... after trying to ease drop on an unknown conversation while sitting on the side of the highway... we ended up meeting Meg, Paul, and Jeanne at Chick-Fil-A for dinner. After being mistakened for a church group and having cute Chick-Fil-A guys bring us sauces, silverware, and anything else we wanted, we got back in our cars and caravaned to Little Switzerland. We finally arrived around 11pm (after getting lost on our way to find the house on scary mountain roads, of course)! Now the whole crew (and the honorary Radcliffs... the Mukenyas) were together! Let the Labor Day festivities begin!

Thanks for the post Elise! You're right, some pics are better than none and I love these from the first part of our journey! Brings back good times- oh Labor Day would not be the same without crazy road trips to the site!
