in Checking In, Green, Travels

Home tonight

We got back this evening for an overnight stay in Raleigh before heading to the coast. Our timing put us into RTP right before 5PM, meaning we ran smack into rush-hour traffic. Gazing at the sea of brake-lights heading east, I thanked my lucky stars once again for my bicycle commute!

We stopped by Linville Caverns on the way home. The caverns didn’t disappoint, being sufficiently dark, damp, and stalagtite-y to keep us entertained. I expected there to be bigger rooms here and there but that’s not the way caves work. Still, it was a fun diversion.

We got back to find work still being done on our playset. Also, part of our fence had been removed without our permission. We’re going to take this up with the builders but right now we’re not happy, especially considering the builders had our cellphone numbers with which to ask us.

I’m going to a Comprehensive Plan Committee meeting in the morning as part of my East CAC duties. Then its off to the beach for what’s shaping up to be a rainy first day. We’ll make the best of it, though.
