I find I always blog about my weekends...but they're usually the best thing going on! So again: another weekend blog!
Friday, Beau and I went home to see ma and super-step dad, who dog-sat while I went to Charlotte to see Ramseur Records night at the Visulite Theatre. Ramseur Records' label carries the Avett Brothers and a new fave, Bombadil. Friday night was a showcase of many of the bands on the label. It was a great show, listened to some amazing music and met some fun new people.
Saturday, we headed to the lake with the whole fam. It was a nice day, a bit breezy and it showered a little bit. But, somehow, the sun rocked me anyway--have a nice little burn on my chest and shoulders. Ouch. Then after the day at the lake, sister and I went back to Charlotte to see my friends Sol Driven Train (after my mom accused me of being a groupy)
Sunday, I went back to the lake, but it was a yucky day and kept raining. So we loaded up and Beau and I hit the road to Durham. We took old NC Hwys the whole way, which is a nice change-up from the I40/85 that we frequent and that I could probably drive with my eyes closed. We even passed through a little town called Ramseur which I thought was a little ironic considering the show on Friday (turns out, "Mr. Ramseur" of Ramseur Records is a descendant of Confederate General Stephen Ramseur, which the town was named after...man I love genealogy and Southern history!)
So Beau and I are back in Durham for the Memorial Day Holiday. I think I'm going to fix up a picnic of some awesome home-made chicken salad and take Beau to the Duke Gardens. Come join us!
