Edenton Love

Now this is long overdue, but I absolutely need to share my fabulous adventure to Edenton, North Carolina with you! I was on a journey to visit my best friend. We roomed together our junior and senior years at James Madison and honestly, she has been one of the greatest blessings in my life! Brittany Morgan is a fabulous friend who I had to visit. We kind of made this deal where we would have girls weekends at least every four months so time was up! I went on my big adventure back in October and yes, it has taken me this long to share it with you.

First here is the fabulous Brittany & myself:

Let's be honest, she probably thought I was a total weirdo when I first met her through a good friend. I was on the hunt to collect walnuts to make walnut dye for my Fibers & Weaving project. (I was dying silk.) So we collected walnuts off the Quad & then went back to her room to play Bananagrams!

Okay, back to Edenton, NC. So Brittany lives in Edenton which is probably the most darling town ever. She works at an elementary school in the area through Teach for America (TFA). She is the greatest fifth grade teacher in all of North Carolina - just saying. I had told her I would visit by October, so during the second to last weekend I took the 5 hour trip down there and spent the weekend with her.

We were going to go to the Outer Banks but it was freezing that weekend. We ended up driving around North Carolina in the hunt for bargains and antiques. Unfortunately, all of the antique shops seemed to close at 4pm and we missed out. But we did have a delicious meal at an awesome local restaurant on Saturday night and a cute meal in a little Soda Shoppe Diner on Sunday afternoon. We also got to enjoy bits of a wedding celebration on Saturday night! Enjoy some of the pictures from our adventures!

Reminiscing on times when we shared a hot chai together.

Gorgeous best friend!

I cannot wait to visit again - really just see Brittany again! I told her today that our next girls adventure will be in Italy. Yes, I know that may not happen for a while, but I cannot wait until our best friend adventure in Europe!
