Almost time!

I can’t believe May 4th is finally here! Time has gone by so quickly and people have been fussing because I’m a lazy updater =) We’ve been in SC for approximately two weeks and our traveling begins tonight/the morning. At midnight we are leaving to drive to Raleigh for our 8:40 flight to Seattle. It’s only a four hour drive, but just in case we get lost or have doggy issues we are preparing for the worst. We’ve done a lot of fun things on this vacation. In Tennessee we went to the Ripley’s Aquarium and The Lost Sea. The Lost Sea was really neat because it’s an underground lake, it’s amazing really. In SC two of my New Bernian friends came down to visit. We went to Carowinds and Jessica and I rode “The Intimidator”. It was by far the most amazing roller coaster I have been on, climbing 23 stories high and 80-something degree drop, and no shoulder restraint. Given there were no loops or corkscrews it still felt like something you  needed more safety restraints for. The next day we took a trip to the zoo which was also great because Jess had never been to the zoo. We take advantage of such simple things when they are presented to us often, and it’s always a joy to see someone in a fun new situation. We’ve hung out with a lot of great friends all over the place, and great family too. Today is my little brother Jesse’s birthday, and I can’t even say how happy I am to be here to see him turn 7. I need to head on over there for cake, ice cream, and presents. See you in Seattle (if I can find wi-fi)!
