Moved

What fun is a blog post without pictures right?  Well we don't have internet access set up at home yet, and we've been really busy.  But we wanted to let you know we are all moved in to our new house!  It took all day Saturday and Sunday to move everything over.  We rented a 16' Penske truck and it took two full loads.

Now we have to unpack and set everything up (half of our stuff was just quickly unloaded into the garage so we could keep moving along) and finish cleaning our old house.  We're sore and tired but we did it!

We've met some of the neighbors on our street and they seem really nice, and lots of people have kids too.

We're excited to be living in our new house now, after we get settled in the next week or two we'll post some pictures on here!

Lazy Daze arts and craft festival in downtown Cary

Well...since we are buying a house in the town of Cary, we wanted to go check out the big summer festival there called Lazy Daze. It is a big arts and craft festival with music, food, and cool things for sale in downtown Cary. They estimate about 60,000 people now go to it each day.

Here we are arriving at the festival in downtown:

About 15 minutes after we got there, it started pouring down rain.  A lot of people took shelter under the tents but we just kept walking along in the rain, it felt great!

We passed a booth with a guy who was selling airplanes made from beer cans.  What a great combination, beer and airplanes, Jim loved it!

Once the rain stopped, everybody came right back out, it was amazing how many people were there:

There were so many crafts and art booths that reminded Colleen of things her mom makes.  We decided next year she has to come down from NH for the festival.  She can sell some of her crafts!

At another booth we saw some signs that were all Americana, they reminded us a lot of Jim's mom, with her Americana-themed house!

We did find a neat sign at that booth that will be great in our new house, for our beach themed room we plan on having.

Overall we had a great time, we at good food from some local restaurants, watched some bands play, and got to see one of the events that will take place every year in our new town!
