And now, a lot of pictures that will take a while to load! Go do something important while they load. Did you do it? YOU DIDN’T.

I got to go home for MORE than like 3 days for the first time in years. Usually I’m rushing around trying to do like 12 days worth of visiting and attempting to be mellow? But this time, I ACTUALLY got to do everything, and also maybe be mellow a little bit. Things like! Grilling with Dad, or rather, watching Dad grill,

walking Wrightsville Beach with Dan,

visiting Dad at Senate place (Legislative Building?) ,

Look how cute my Dad is,

and patroning my favorite coffee place in the world, Cafe Driade in Chapel Hill.
