More Fun in the Triangle

Non-food-related stuff that we did:

We read about this secret castle on Trip Advisor and had to go check it out. It's home to a secret society of UNC students and faculty (boys only), and the grounds are supposed to be haunted.

Nor was a bad influence and convinced Em to trespass for a picture.

Jordan Lake

Raleigh Temple (under renovation)

Chapel of the Cross Church on UNC Campus

(Here's a better picture that I stole off the internet.)

Coker Arboretum on UNC Campus (Do you see the deer?)

Nor said she'd be my maternity photographer, ha ha. 31 weeks pregnant.

Old Well on UNC Campus... The drinking fountain wouldn't work for Emily, but Nor got it on her first try! It's a campus symbol. Tradition says that a drink from the Old Well on the first day of classes will bring good luck (or straight As).

Found this awesome acromantula statue on campus and had to send a picture to Lizzie and Heidi
(We were attacked by one of Aragog's kids!) #harrypotternerd

UNC Botanical Garden

We missed the carnivorous plant exhibit at UNC Botanical Gardens, so we made sure to catch it at Duke Gardens:

(We were underwhelmed.)

Duke Gardens, overall, were pretty darn awesome. And we didn't even get to see everything because the place is so big.

Duke Chapel was probably the coolest thing we saw. They have the kind of gothic architecture that you only see in Europe. #wow

This time Nor couldn't light a prayer candle, but Emily got it on her first try.

Ok, I didn't take these next few pictures, but to give you an idea of just how awesome this building is:

Finally, we checked out a bunch of animals and insects at the Life and Science Museum in Durham
