Whirlwind Post before EUROPE!!!

Just wanted to update you on a few of the things that happened before my *amazing* trip (which I will be posting about in the coming days)...I had the chance to go home and surprise my parents for Easter (wahoo!) and spend time with my Little Sister before heading off to Europe...


Got the cutest card from my Little Sister!


Home for Easter weekend to surprise the parentals...first up, spending some QT with my seester in Chapel Hill. (Belated birthday present for her)


Lunch :)


<3


She has a habit of doing this...


...see what I mean?


The south...in a jar


*delicious* fried pickles at Relish


Cheesy Grits with Braised Roast


And finished with fried donuts - YUM


A little retail therapy - loved this mirror


We went shopping...and without knowing it, bought the same pair of earrings. #seesters


Loved this place setting display




Finally, after many years, visited Caffe Driade


Seesters semi-serious



Seesters silly 


'Let's take a serious photo!'

Nailed it


Carolina Inn, how I love thee


You too, Bell Tower

Flowers make me happy


Hahaha she's always wanted one


Road trip home!


No trip home would be complete without it...


Surprising Momma first!


Next up is the Daddio!


Taking a ride in some new wheels


'It's like a roller coaster!' (*feels like she's 5 again*)


Held my first snake


Yep. That happened.

Small town City Drive-In

My coworkers have been amazed at my lunches...(it's all in the presentation)


Running joke in the office... Can you guess which sign goes with which space? Choices are: Refrigerator, Entry Hallway, Exit, and Bathroom ;-)

Awesome present from my sister Liv - she knows how much I love lemons
