Ike pointed that out to me today, although neither of us knows who to credit with saying it for the first time. He made this observation as we walked through campus in Chapel Hill, reliving memories and looking at all the babies who go to school there now...
For our anniversary, Ike and I went to Raleigh last night, where we ate room service food on a bed much more comfortable than our own, and watched a movie (Philadelphia, which I'd never seen). Today we walked around downtown Raleigh for a little while before heading to Chapel Hill for lunch and the aforementioned walk down Memory Lane. We ate at the Rat, where Ike got the Gambler and a Blue Tarheel (so now we have the glass to replace the ones we've broken) and I got the lasagna. Ok, I have to remember not to get the lasagna next time. I get it every time we go, and really, does anyone need that much cheese?? It's just a bowl of cheese, I swear, so while we walked around campus I felt like I was carrying a baby AND a cheese bowl in my tummy. But it's so good...
As parents who say we won't pay for Jake's college unless he goes to Chapel Hill, we realized today that we've been remiss in something very important: Jake has no Tarheel clothing. So we headed to one of the multiple UNC stores on Franklin Street (the Shrunken Head is not open on Sundays, Whims is now closed...) and bought him a Carolina shirt. We were both very excited to present it to him when we got to my parents' house to pick him up...His reaction was this:
(hangs head, sighs) "Oh. It's not even something cool."
Fine, then. As long as he still plans to go to school there, he doesn't have to wear the shirt. :)
Jake spent yesterday and today at my parents' house. Nana took him to the NC Transportation Museum yesterday to ride Thomas the Train. I was thrilled to learn from Mom that he wasn't at all interested in getting the Thomas toys after their ride. I've learned from other mothers that Thomas can be a very expensive habit. He came home with a cool toy, but one that won't break our bank if he decides he wants others. Whew, no Thomas!
After we arrived at their house, we all headed out again to the "Pumpkin Patch," a place to buy pumpkins in WS that is cooler than any place we've yet found near our home. We all purchased pumpkins (thanks Dad!) and took many pictures. The one I'm most looking forward to seeing is the one in which Ike stuck a pumpkin under his shirt...so that we'd have matching bellies.
Now that's love. Perhaps he'd like to birth that pumpkin at the same time I birth mine?? :)
