From New Jersey to North Carolina

Last week I had to go on a work trip to Red Bank, New Jersey. I was terrified. This would be the first time I would be traveling alone, and I did not want to get lost on the Jersey turnpike. However, it ended up being a breeze of a trip besides the fact that the rental car place was in the ghetto and the hotel overbook my room the first night. The best part of the trip was the second night there when I did get to stay at the hotel I had originally planned on staying in. I was done with all my work, and I could finally relax. See below for my relaxation pictures.

The hotel was right on the water, which gave me this amazing view as seen above. Red Bank, New Jersey is beautiful - the complete opposite of what you see on the Jersey Shore show. 

So, if you ever find yourself in New Jersey take a trip to Red Bank and stay at The Molly Pitcher Inn. The bar service is wonderful as well as the food! 


I came back home Thursday night and Friday we were headed to Wilmington to visit some friends of ours. Zero pictures were taken except the one below. 

My best friend, Heather, has the most adorable puppy. Jared said "if we ever get a small dog, I want to have one just like this." HAHA we are getting a Golden Doodle you silly little man. I guess if we wanted a third dog I'd be down.

Anyway it was great catching up with friends, but we had to rush home Sunday because we were going to the Panthers vs Steelers game. Well I was just going to tailgate, but Jared was going into the game.

It was the perfect day for tailgating especially if you were lucky enough to find shade. I was exhausted by the end of the tailgate and could not wait to crawl in bed - of course Jared was skipping into the stadium. Doubt he was skipping out :(

It was a long week last week, and this weekend we are off to Gatlinburg, Tennessee! Hopefully I'll remember to take pictures...
