Friday I drove down to Kyle’s house for a weekend of shopping and fun. Traffic was kind so I rolled into town around 7:30pm and we hung out with Kyle cooking dinner. Saturday, we both woke up bright and early and headed out to shop for everything on my list. Twelve hours, two malls, and four strip malls later, I had a pretty good dent in all the things I needed. Only one item needed to be returned (hurrah!).

Sunday, we tried rollerblading on the sculpture trail around the NC Museum of Art. Kyle quickly traded the rollerblades for running shoes. This proved to be a smart move as the trail was very cool (passing lots of sculpture) but vertical through the woods most of the way. It was very challenging for me who was still on skates; the trail is really cool though and worth a visit.

After that, we headed straight for Target and Wal-Mart to finish off the shopping list and then had a yummy lunch at Baba Grill; they had excellent Iranian version of “Mediterranean” food. Sumac was on the table just in case you needed a little extra seasoning.

Sated, Kyle and I rolled home to shower and relax before her friends came over that evening. I got to meet the infamous Gabby, Ying and Donna. They are all awesome women who are very inspiring with their tales of life.
