Participating artists have created an art gallery on wheels, with imaginative designs that include imagery of riders on the bus, historic views of Raleigh, whimsical dinosaurs, robots and monsters, and a typographic portrayal of Sir Walter Raleigh.
On the way out of the fairgrounds we saw these little guys playing outside the pond. Stopped long enough to grab a few shots. I don’t think the mother geese (father geese?) were too thrilled about it but it made for some reasonably good pictures.
The Got to be NC Festival celebrates all things North Carolina and what is more North Carolina than antique tractors. Well – I can think of a few things but the tractors were pretty awesome. With rides, concessions and a overwhelming sampling of North Carolina made products this event is becoming a mini-fair in the spring. Check it out today and tomorrow if you can and don’t miss your chance to win the antique Ford tractor to the right. I’m [...]
Losing daylight fast we went over to Carter-Finley for a few quick shots around the stadium and the massive statue outside. We’ll be back this fall for some game action but till this is as close as you can get to the Pack.
The entrance to the Neuse River Trail at Anderson Point Park officially opened last month and just a short drive from the house it is a great place to go for a bike ride. Friday night we rode to the trail about 9 miles round-trip.
What did you do Saturday morning? Probably didn’t hike over six miles in your local state park following orange squares on trees like ET followed Reese’s Pieces with much less peanut butter. Yes – hiking will make you hungry.

Another photo from our trip last weekend to South Carolina. I am pretty sure I tweeted this one as well – so it might be a rerun for BobG. If you like reruns you can always follow me on Twitter or better yet just come to NOSVC again tomorrow because odds are I won’t update things quickly. So I imagine the conversation from the Old Navy went something like this… From the store in South Carolina: “Hi ya’ll, I’d like [...]
This was a really fun night of hockey with some co-workers. The seats were awesome – the new point-n-shoot camera worked well. We even rode the bus with no complaints. More pictures after the jump including the bench clearing near-fight at the end. Best part? Canes won 3-1. Take that Jaguars!

Technology is awesome – here is my iPad waiting on the NCSU game to start. Hopefully the Pack will add UVA to their confirmed kill list and build their resume for the NCAA tournament. I would write more but the game is on.
