Truly Burgess Central

Our house was truly Burgess Central this past weekend, when we hosted Doug's mom, grandmother, Aunt and cousin. Well, they are from that side of our family, though all of their last names aren't Burgess.

We picked up Connie & Marie from the airport on Friday afternoon and Kim & Drew met us at the house - we were a stop on their road trip. We went out to dinner on Friday night in Chapel Hill and visited. The family met Willie & he was on his best behavior.

Saturday morning, we started out with our favorite diner breakfast at Elmo's and then showed everyone around Duke - both the campus and the hospital. We then picked up BBQ for a late lunch and went to a Durham Bulls Game that evening.

All the ladies- not quite as good at the horns...

Sunday was a slightly less busy day - we loaded up the SUV and went to Jordan Lake. Doug, Drew, Willie and I all played in the water - while the ladies enjoyed the breeze and beautiful views at the lake. We cooked a big family dinner that evening and celebrated a great visit. On Monday everyone left, leaving a very sad Willie with much less attention at our house.

Willie & Drew - ready to go swimming.
