raleigh road trip

Earlier in the summer we took a quick weekend road trip to the Raleigh/Durham area in North Carolina. We woke the kids up early in the morning and had chocolate milk and muffins on the road. It turned out perfectly because we missed the usual weekend traffic on 95 South and the kids fell back asleep in the car. Our first stop was brunch at Nosh in Durham. It was so delicious. We devoured everything on the table. It was just down the street from the Sarah P. Duke Gardens on the Duke University campus so we spent some time wandering through the beautiful gardens. That's about all I took photos of for some reason. The rest of the weekend was spent exploring Raleigh. And swimming in the hotel pool. We attempted to go out to eat for dinner downtown but it started pouring rain and a few of the kids fell asleep while we were driving around so in the end we just picked up pizza from Mellow Mushroom (can't go wrong there) and had dinner in our hotel room.

Ben's awesome portobello burger and my savory egg patties. We also had the world's best cinnamon roll here.
