Vacation '07: Day One

We are so excited that our vacation has finally arrived... we were so excited that we took off right from Mary's work in Bethesda Friday afternoon. After sitting in DC rush hour traffic for about 2 hours or so, we started making pretty good time around 8 pm. We arrived in downtown Raleigh around midnight.

I must say we were a little disappointed in the Days Inn downtown Raleigh. After they put the bed, dresser and TV in, there was hardly any room at all to walk around. Bu

t we were only there to sleep, so I suppose I can't complain too much.

We had a great first day yesterday! We checked in to the Cameron Park Inn Bed and Breakfast around 11:15am. They asked us to be there a bit early because they had somewhere to be. This place is BEAUTIFUL! I haven't seen a speck of dust yet. Our room last night was so cool! It's the only room on the third floor so it has its own little sitting room and even has a cool window seat where Mary sat and knitted. She made a cool little pouch thing for my MP3 player! In Steelers colors of course...

We went to Wal-Mart this afternoon after we checked in, the we ate at this little local pizza shop called the "Mellow Mushroom." It was pretty good. Then we strolled around the shopping center in Cameron Park that's right by our B&B. It was fun... I guess... after that we came back and chilled out in the room for awhile. Lat night we went to a place called Comedy Worx downtown Raleigh. It was a lot like the "Whose Line is it Anyway?" show with Drew Carey. We laughed pretty hard the whole time. We grabbed a quick bite afterward and by then it was time for bed.

Today promises to be pretty eventful... more later tonight...
