On Saturday, we finally got a reprieve from the cooler weather and gloomy days. It’s true – the rainy, chilly winter season in North Carolina has been getting to me lately. The combination of being in a new place and not wanting to venture out on the weekends doesn’t bode well for this girl. I told Josh that it’s time for me to invest in some vitamin D. As an Arizonan, I’m too used to the sun.
But back to Saturday. Saturday was a beautiful day. I headed downtown for a haircut, and afterwards we packed a lunch and loaded the pup in the car. Off we went to Eno State River Park. Wait – that’s not entirely true. We went to the park after we doused ourselves in tick repellent. See, nobody told me that I’d have to worry about ticks in North Carolina. I found that out just last week from my co-workers. Naturally, I reacted in the only way that makes sense to me – I began researching Lyme Disease and freaking out.
Eno State River Park is beautiful and I can’t wait to see it when there are leaves in the trees. Jackson was happy to trot around and smell the new smells. It felt good to get out and soak up some sun. And best of all, when we got home, we were tick-free.
