Jan and I had a great time last weekend in Greensboro, NC visiting Kevin and Summer.  We were able to see a couple of ACC tournament games, including UNC vs. UVA and Boston College vs. Maryland.  Thanks to Kevin for tracking down tickets for us.  I do have to point out though that we were a little misled.  Kevin said that he got us tickets that were on the upper section, row AAA.  He thought that this might mean we were on the first row of the second deck.  He was partially right.  We were in reality on the first row...in front of the LAST row!  I really can't complain though, because it was still a great view of the game and we were pretty close to midcourt.  The second game, we actually went down and sat in Summer's brother's seats on the 4th row.  That was the closest I've ever sat at a college game.  It is such a different perspective and makes you realize just how huge those guys are. 

The rest of the time we were there, we basically got caught up on The Office, season 2.  I was skeptical of the show at first but after watching a few episodes and getting used to the characters we are really enjoying it.  "You heart NY don't you?"  We also went to a cool park and ran some pretty rugged trails.  I wasn't able to run much because my knee starting acting up.  That's becoming a more frequent event unfortunately as I approach my 30's. 

We also got to hang out with Jan's lifelong friend Sophia who is getting a PhD at Duke.  She's pretty cool as long as we're not talking Duke/UNC. 

Overall, we had a great visit with family that was needed and experienced some of the beautiful scenery in North Carolina.  We should do this more often!
