Valentine's Visitors

We had the pleasure of Brady coming up from Georgia and Elizabeth, his girlfriend, coming down from New Jersey to spend the valentine's day weekend with us. We managed to have some fun activities and enjoyed the weekend with them.

WE had a few fun activities on Saturday. We went up to the Tobacco museum at Duke Homestead in Durham Saturday morning. The had a replica of the liberty bell made out of 350 pounds of tobacco. Outside they had an old time working tobacco farm. The museum was so convincing Brady and Cheyney momentarily tried to smoke some tobacco outside but they didn't have a lighter. After that we toured around Duke University and went to the chapel.

That evening we went down to an indoor skydiving place. We were filmed but the DVD doesn't convert or at least I cant do it yet. It was awesome though. Its the closet I (Ryan) can come to flying since I don't dare jump out of an airplane like the other three already have.

You know when you are cruising down the freeway and you put your hand out? Well its like doing that with your whole body inside a giant wind tunnel. I recommend it to all those who want to try. Here is an ad that shows what it was like.


Here is a quick sideshow of the day's activities below.

Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. I'd love to do one of those sky diving tunnels. Zach was brave enough to do the real thing, but I'm with you Ryan. Thanks for the V-day card! You guys are such a cute couple!
