This past summer we would entertain the idea of visiting Matt & Kristen in North Carolina. They were so gracious to travel a long distance to our wedding. Late one night we decided to just book it! We flew out early on Thursday (big shout out to Paul O. for driving us!) and got to Jacksonville around lunchtime. We were so excited to see our favorite Aggie couple! Matt had just had PRK (form of lasiks) the day before, what a trooper! We went to lunch and then headed to their house to chill. I must say Kristen's lasagna was to die for. She started to feel bad that we ate some at every meal after that, but we were excited to! lol
The next day, Matty took us on a private tour of the Camp LeJeune Air Station. We felt like VIP! Other weekend activities included: SkipBo, driving around camp LeJeune, Wii tennis, fish fry, Cranium, NCIS, New Bern, playing fetch, girl's trip to Wal-mart for ice cream, and the commissary.
**Kristen I'm embarrassed of our pictures from the trip. Nothing compares to you camera!
Mr. Matt had to keep his sunglasses on after the surgery
I loved how his girls would take care of him
The staircase was narrow to get up to the control tower. (Kristen, I hesitated to post this picture because he has your camera around his neck with no lens cover...ahhh luckily nothing happened.)
Meeting the people in the control tower.
Look what we found on Camp LeJeune (Josh wanted me to sit on it but we felt it first and it was HOT!)
While visiting New Bern we went to a yummy seafood restaurant. Cap'n Ratty gave us a tour of his wine cellar. It was cold in there!
We are so thankful for our good friends M & K. Thanks so much for having us!!
I hope Kristen doesn't mind me posting this...but you can see some pictures of the trip here. You see, (ahem) our camera took a big hit that weekend. I can't wait to have a nice camera like Kristen's. A certain someone has promised to be extremely careful with it and not leave it on top of a car. See this post in case you forgot.
Love the post. Oh the fun you can have in Jacksonville. Don't forget about the trip to the aquarium that didn't happen! Miss you guys!
