Last weekend we were in NORTH CAROLINA! I’ve had “Visit North Carolina to see where Will grew up” on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. It was so surreal to see these places he grew up going to and especially the actual house he grew up in!
While we were out front seeing the house, the owner came out and politely asked why we were taking pictures in front of her house ? She let us come inside and see the house and loved talking to us about the memories they all had inside that home. It was a true Mr. Deeds experience and I loved it haha!
Every place we went to in Durham was charming and I loved all the TREES! EVERYWHERE! Literally tall trees were all over the place and I couldn’t get over it.
The main reason we went out to North Carolina was to see a Duke basketball game. Will’s dad went to business school at Duke hence the reason they are all DIE HARD Duke fans. I’ve loved Duke ever since I started dating Will and it was another item on my bucket list to go to Cameron Indoor and watch a basketball game. And holy cow! What an amazing experience that was.
Anyone know how to pronounce that? ☺️
The Duke gymnasium is so small compared to others so the energy was palpable. I literally had chills the entire game! It was also a super close game so I was also sweating at the same time. Luckily, Duke pulled off the win!
Had to buy some new Duke gear at the bookstore of course. Will said anything Duke could come out of his budget this month ?
Duke Chapel
The rest of the trip was spent eating incredible southern food, visiting old family friends of the Gochnour’s, and seeing everything that Durham had to offer!
Gonza Mexican food
Sarah Duke gardens
Ben and Jerry’s Milk & Cookies ice cream.
(go buy it asap)
It was one of my favorite trips I’ve ever taken and I loved seeing a part of Will’s life I’ve never been able to see before! Times I know I will definitely cherish forever.
This upcoming week we’re babysitting two families at once again. As in 10 children. As in 10 children + both working 40 hours a week. As in WHAT in the world are we doing. Wish us luck ?
