Our first stops were to visit friends who all happened to have baby girls around William's age. Lucky him! He had a great time giggling at them, patting them on the head, and trying to hold their hands (or knees, toes, or any other easily reachable body part).
In Raleigh, NC, this adorable red-haired munchkin:
In Greensboro, NC, this dainty little princess:
A little head-patting, as I told you.
Good friends already.
I love how they are looking at each other in this picture, not at the adults.
In Columbia, SC, this chubby-cheeked cutie:
William shows off how he can put his whole fist in his mouth. She's clearly impressed.
While the babies did their baby things, we adults had a great time laughing, eating, getting caught up on the joyful things of life, and praying about the hard things. So thankful for such amazing friends.
On the drive from Greensboro to Columbia we took Scenic Byway 705, which meandered through green hills, past tiny towns and horse farms. (And unfortunately we didn't really stop to take pictures, so you'll have to use your imagination: blue skies, puffy white clouds, lots of trees, beautiful horses.)
On the way we stopped at Seagrove, a little town that is the pottery capital of the US and has a truly overwhelming number of potteries.
We ate lunch at the Seagrove Family Restaurant, which had red leatherette booths, waitresses who called you "honey", home-pickled jalapenos on the table (yes!), sweet tea (and I do mean sweet), and coconut cream pie for $1.40 (when was the last time you saw anything on a restaurant menu for $1.40??)
Nap time.
