North Carolina weekend


We had a wonderful weekend in North Carolina.  My dad and his wife were driving up from Myrtle Beach and we drove down from Virginia to meet them in Raleigh.  We toured the LDS temple there.  You can see interior pictures of it here.
 
Then we played at the hotel pool.
My dad grew up in this area so we took some time to drive by the house where he grew up, his old high school, etc.  One of the most special things for me was visiting the grave sites of his sister (who died at 4) and his brother (who was born and died the same day).  I was named after his sister and Leo's birthday is March 27, the same as my dad's brother.
We caught the ferry on the way back.  The sunset on the water was a nice end to the day.

We had a great visit with Papa Larry and Grandma Denise!
