Hooray for Raleighwood
As Nicki so eloquently posted a few days ago, we have returned to the Land of the Rising Sun. After spending a couple weeks in Sacramento, Nicki and Josh flew over to the east coast to meet up with me in Richmond, VA. I flew into Richmond on March 5th... we stayed on the east coast until March 23... a nice long trip - but still not long enough to see and do all we wanted.
It had been a long time since we had been east of the Mississippi and even longer since we had been down to Raleigh, NC, to visit with my old college friends and their families. Many of my college friends and their wives have started families in recent years and we had a whole herd of new babies to meet. We also coordinated with a friend (Adam) in South Florida and one (Tom) in Atlanta to meet us there, so we got to meet Adam's new fiancee and Tom's new girl.
A side benefit of our trip's timing was that it aligned perfectly with the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Basketball Tournament. Our friends - Sean, Miguel, and Danny - set it up so that we could watch one of each of the games at their houses. They really rolled out the red carpet for us, too. Great food, great friends, and a great time. When all was said and done, our beloved NC State Wolfpack made it to the tournament championship game (but ultimately lost a close one to a certain powder blue rival).
It was tough leaving Raleigh, but we had a lot more to see and do... which we'll talk about at a later date and time. In the meantime, some of the Raleigh pictures are below and in our Gallery, dated 03/28/2007.
