It took a few days but almost all of the boxes are unpacked and items are starting to belong to their respective spaces. Admittedly, it still looks like a flea market in here though. I've started coming to shop The Mantle for knickknacks and treasures now that we have rooms set up, waiting to be adorned. And it hasn't taken us long to realize that we need to lay off the knickknack buying for a while- I mean how many jugs and colored glass bottles does one household really need??
(That's not all of them by a longshot)
The backyard remains a favorite spot for our furry friends, both utilizing it the way they see fit...
So having been here almost two weeks now, I will share with you what we have learned:
For good, upscale Mexican that's easy on the wallet go to Gonza's.
Chuck's is great for a gourmet burger and fries that come with their own menu of dipping sauces.
After an extensive comparison, we recommend grocery shopping at Harris Teeter.
When tropical storms hit, bring your white water rafting gear- our backyard turns into Class 4 rapids.
You'll also need your mosquito repellent, it's a whole different ballgame up here.
And be sure to know your favorite college basketball team (Duke, NC State, or UNC) as you will inevitably get asked upon meeting most anyone.
