Ever since our last trip to Utah, Jackson (a UNC fan) and one of his best friend's Bryant (a die-hard Miami fan) have been planning for and epic weekend of couple bonding, football, and quality time with friends. Last weekend was the big game - UNC vs Miami at UNC and we had tickets!! Bryant and his amazing wife Alexis (also a huge Miami fan) were making the ulimate sacrifice - taking a red eye flight from Utah to NC arriving early Saturday morning with a little bit of down time planned before kick-off at noon.
Everything was going to be perfect - an amazing game, the State Fair in the afternoon and then time to crash and enjoy a peaceful Sunday together before they were to head back on Monday morning. Little did Bryant and Alexis know they were to spend 24 hours in airports all over the country (from SLC to LA to Memphis) before arriving in NC after 7:00 p.m. Long after the Hurricanes defeated the Tarheels.
After arriving they were really good sports - we all enjoyed the State Fair that evening seeing amazingly huge produce, experimenting with food that I believe took nutrients out of our bodies and standing next to what appeared to be the tallest horse on the planet.
On Sunday after church we went to Duke University and toured the Chapel and, of course, beautiful Duke gardens.
It was lovely to see them, but unfortunate that it was such a short visit. While this getaway did not work out entirely as planned, do not let their experience deter you from planning your own trip to come out and visit the Olsen's!
