Going to the Chapel...

Brian is engaged! We found out a few weeks ago that he and Rori are getting married this spring and we are so excited. This week we are meeting our future in-laws. On Saturday morning we drove to Chapel Hill, NC, and met Robin and Chip.



Jeff and I are staying at the Sheraton and Brian and Rori have flown in and staying with her parents. We met for appetizers and instantly liked this family which is Rori's parents and her sister. She also has a brother who lives in Alabama with his wife and child. We went to dinner in Chapel Hill which is a cute town with lots of restaurants and the large campus of University of North Carolina.

The next morning Chip took us on a tour of Chapel Hill, Durham and Duke University. The massive Duke campus is just beautiful with many buildings made of granite. The chapel is especially appealing.




The town of Durham is in a growth spurt with many old tobacco factories becoming apartments, commercial space and shopping areas.



We saw the Durham Bulls original stadium where they filmed the movie Bull Durham.



We had lunch in Chapel Hill and then rested up before dinner. We went to a great BBQ shack with good food and the opportunity to sit and talk. We are so comfortable and know that we will have many years of enjoyment with our new family.
