I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline

I love South Carolina because it is so close to everyone! This labor day weekend had a lot going on and not a lot of sleep. I raced my way through tropical storm and made it up north to North Carolina. Let me tell you, Raleigh is an amazing city. The second I got into the area the radio stations (I know the only person left to listen to the radio) had operas, classical music, and a million talk shows. This place was different. Plus, it was voted one of the top cities for southern food, and trust me, I could not stop eating. This was a snap shot of my weekend. 

This was the capital building, probably not the best, but still good. There is so much to do in Raleigh I can not wait to to go back sometime soon and hit up all of the museums. 

Going out there was definitely an older crowd, however the drinks are amazing. I got a lavender lemonade.

Here is the shrimp and grits of all shrimp and grits. I text a picture to my dad and he knew the exact restaurant. 

That just left the rest of the weekend for relaxation and time for some big planning!
