Vacation Round-Up

Later on Friday, after Eucharist at Holy Family, we met good friend Meredith Stewart for ice cream at Maple View Dairy Farm. The company and conversation were fantastic, even as the sun wasn't quite up to setting yet; we were soon drenched in sweat and good stories as we struggled to take in the usually idyllic view.

That evening, the sun retired and things a little cooler, long-time good friend Bobby Tunks picked me up and we headed for the DBAP to catch the Durham Bulls. A storm the night before had turned our game into an unexpected double header. I was really grateful for the extended time together. Bobby and I have known each other since elementary school. I remember one day in 6th grade in the changing room after gym, asking Bobby what he was going to do when he grew up. Pediatric cardiology, he said. I was impressed and pretended to understand what that meant. Sure enough, at the time of our arrival in Durham, Bobby and his family had just moved to Duke, where he is a fellow practicing pediatric cardiology. Random note from the night: Carolina Brewery represented well.

Pictures here are from outside the ballpark, and from the next couple of days at the beach with the Gallahers.
