Channing's 1st Road Trip!

Before Channing was born I had made plans with my best friend, Julie, that we would make a trip to Mocksville, NC to visit her on the weekend following Thanksgiving.  Both my health and little Channing's health have been great following Channing's birth, so we followed through with our plans for a road trip!  Julie was my room mate in college and we did just about everything together so I always get excited when I get to visit with her now.  Here's a picture of me and Julie reunited again:

We spent the majority of our visit just spending time with Julie and her family at Julie's house that she bought earlier in the year.  For dinner we ate at a restaurant that we like there called Miller's Restaurant- it's kind of a "hole in the wall" country restaurant that has great food and great prices.  Here's a picture of Julie, Channing, and Ian at Miller's Restaurant:

Following dinner we made a trip to Tanglewood to see the light show that they do there.  Jude absolutely loved the light show, mainly because we let him ride outside of his car seat on Julie's lap for part of the time.  Here's a picture of the entryway to the park as well as one of Jude and Julie enoying the lights:

We returned home late that evening and put the kids right to bed.  It was so nice to see and visit with Julie and her family; I really do miss seeing them on a more regular basis.  Hopefully we can get together another time in the near future.
