The Girls
I took some pictures of the girls for my aunt Stephanie for their Christmas card. I love these girls so much!
Pilgrim's Place
I couldn't wait to see the girls when I got home! Just a few days after getting home, I went to their house and surprised them :) It was so cute, they were both so surprised! I stayed the night, and the next day we went to Pilgrim's Place. It's like a little fair that happens this time every year. A bunch of old people dress up in pilgrim outfits and have crafts, and a train ride, a Mayflower ride, face painting, and all that fun stuff! It was cute and the girls love it! :)
Isabelle and Caroline and some of their friends with the train conductor and a pilgrim lol.
My aunt Stephanie, her friend Heather, and all the kids.

Coast to Coast
November 5- Day 1: Left Wilmington NC at 6:00 AM, had a break in Raleigh NC, had lunch in Asheville NC, another break in Knoxville TN, and then stopped for the night in Nashville TN.
November 6- Day 2: Left Nashville at 6:00 AM, had a break in Memphis TN, lunch in Little Rock AR, then stopped for the night in Oklahoma City OK. Didn't get pictures of either of the state signs this day :( The Arkansas border is the Mississippi River, so the sign was on a bridge, so we couldn't stop. And we couldn't get to the Oklahoma state sign because they were doing construction! :(

Last Days in Wilmington
Ashley flew in to Wilmington and spent my last few days there with me before we started our drive back home!
As hard as it was for me living in North Carolina, I am still very thankful for the experience. I learned so many life lessons that I never would have learned had I not gone. I went, gave it a try, and now I'll never have to regret not going and wonder what would have been. :)And I'm so thankful to my aunt for letting me stay with her. It's definitely an experience I'll never forget! :)

Home Sweet Home
So, as everyone now knows, I'm home! After grandma and grandpa's trip, I decided to move back home. I just missed everyone too much. I missed my family, my friends. I missed California! I'm a TOTAL California girl! haha. So Ashley, who had booked a flight to come visit me November 1-8, changed her flight to a one-way ticket, came to Wilmington on November 1st, and then we drove back home November 5-8! I'm SO happy to be home! I kept it a secret from everyone, except most of my family, since it was such short notice I decided it would be fun to surprise some people! haha. Well, I'll blog more about everything later, and post pictures of the road trip- too lazy to post pictures tonight :P I'm off to bed!
