NC adventures

Here are some pics from my recent trip to North Carolina. I had to leave the trail a full week prior to the date I had planned, because the guy that joined me didn't prepare AT ALL, and had to drop out. It was one of the bigger disappointments of my lifetime, but I still managed to have a great trip. Maggie took me to her local bar trivia night (we came in second), we went to the NC State Fair (the grounds are not nearly as lovely as the IA or the MN), and we went to the North Carolina Art Museum.

The museum had a lot of modern art installations. Plus an incredibly breath-taking and large exhibition of ancient Greco-Roman artifacts and ancient Egyptian relics, including 3 complete sarcophagi. 

When I told Maggie that the only ride we absolutely had to ride was the Sky Glider, to my horror, she said, "the what??" THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR HAS NO SKY GLIDER!!! Until this year apparently. They finally purchased one and installed it, making this the first time Maggie and her boyfriend (both NC natives) had ever ridden one. What a travesty.

An Iowa girl through and through, says Maggie. this was my first fair food purchase. The corn came from Georgia--yes, I asked. I take my corn very seriously.

I just really like this shot from our day bumming around Durham. 

Thanks for reading, fam. 💜
