Leavin' on a jet plane....

Tomorrow we're off to North Carolina! In honor of our trip down South, here's a few facts about the state...

The state flower is the Dogwood


















The state bird is the cardinal


















The first airplane was flown by the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk














It's home of the Outer Banks, considered some of the most beautiful beaches in the country













North Carolina is the largest producer of sweet potatoes in the country


















The first miniature golf course was built in Fayetteville


















Pepsi was created in New Bern in 1898













Babe Ruth hit his first home run in Fayetteville on March 7, 1914
















If you're a Keaton, it's home to the most important sports team, the Wolfpack










And if you're a Gilreath, it's the home of the Tarheels!














But best of all, it's home to Austin's amazing family, to Devin and Sarah's new baby Delainey (who we are DYING to meet!), and to the North Carolina State Fair!!! Don't miss us too much...=)
