Hurricanes blow in Parents sometimes

Well it was a good weekend. My parents drove down to Chapel Hill this week to visit some very close friends who recently moved down there (by the way the pics of the house look so nice!) They seemed to really have a great visit, liked the campus and the area alot. It all sounded very nice, maybe someday I'll have to go check it out.
As my parents got closer and closer, however, the sky got darker and darker....they finally arrived, along with the wind and the rain, but does that ever stop us! Heck no! We got out our umbrellas, determined to go strech their legs after being in a car for over 5 hrs, and went on a little hike in the woods near my apartment. It sprinkled on us off and on, while we made plans to go to DC in the morning, or maby the book festival.
Went to a nice resturaunt that night, and then to Ikea...nothing like Ikea :)
That night as we slep the wind howled, and the rain pounded from Ivan....and in the morning it continued, as we continued to ignore it and get ready for a outdoor day....finally mom gave in, and said "ok lets face it, its going to be nasty, lets get a movie" so we all piled into the car, got bagles, soada, popcorn, pretzles and a movie. The movie ended up really bad, but the company was great! :)
As they said their goodbye's, the clouds lifted and out came the sun, and the dry cool air.
Its funny what hurricanes will blow in, and out....maybe the next one will blow sisters in with it :) hahahaha
