We had a great time at Wrightsville during trackout. Stayed at the Blockade Runner again this year, can’t say enough about how nice the renovations are down there. We hit the beach, the aquarium, shopped, visited friends, took a horse drawn carriage ride around downtown Wilmington and a cruise on the Intracoastal Waterway where dolphins swam right up to the boat.
We went to Roller Derby on Saturday to watch the Carolina Roller Girls face the San Diego Wildfires. Of course the match was delayed when we had to evacuate to the basement of Dorton Arena as the tornadoes swept through the greater Raleigh area but we got a good story of out it at least! Skating resumed eventually and it was a hotly-contested match – down to the last jam but Carolina pulled out the close win.

I’m way behind on photos – literally hundreds piled up. We have been swamped this trackout. We just got back from Wrightsville last night and then headed to Finley to play golf with Grandpa Gordon.

We went to the Spring Football game today! After sweltering last year, it was freezing this year. We had a good time – much bigger crowd that I was expected with the cold overcast day!

I’ve got a bit of good news for you: Your child has been chosen to receive one of our Teacher’s Choice Awards at the Honors Assembly! That’s a pretty big deal, considering how hard the transition from elementary to middle school can be. Your sons and daughters have really impressed us—either by being kind and courteous to their teachers and their peers, by doing remarkable work in all of our classes, or by showing determination and persistence to do better. Whatever the reason, we’re proud of your kids!
We had a great time on Friday night going to Drag Bingo at the Raleigh Convention Center downtown. Yes that’s right Drag Queens and bingo, joined together as a fantastic fundraiser for the Alliance of AIDS Services. They’d alternate drag performances with a round of bingo. Hayley almost won one of the big games, she was sure she was going home with a bag of cash. Hysterical hosts, amazing performances and a fun crowd. Taking photos was remarkable – the motion of the outfits, the over the top vibrant makeup… I was in photo heaven. We can’t wait to go to the next one!
