Well, we made it to Roanoke safely after a 5 hour drive, putting us in at the Feazelles a little after 3 o'clock. Josh and I enjoyed the drive; I did all the driving; Josh slept for about an hour. We stopped at McDonald's for lunch, then quickly hit the road again.
Once we reached the Feazelles, we took a quick tour of the house for Josh's sake, then sat around the kitchen table and chilled for a while. Their 7 pets all welcomed us with welcome paws.
Around 4:30, we headed out into town and Erica took us to Bubblecake for some cupcakes. Not only were they very tasty, the store was cute! Hopefully I can upload the pictures from my phone. With supcakes in store, we then headed up to the Roanoke Star--a 10,000 pound steel star fixture that is over 80 feet tall. YOu can see it at the top of Mill Mountain, and at night, it is lit up and you can see it throughout the entire town. After some pictures, we headed back to the house for some more down time.
At 6:30, we headed back into town and stopped for dinner at the "Texas Tavern" --a tiny hole-in-the-wall burger joint that seats a grand total of 10. But the food is good and the service is friendly. After that, we took a short detour through the city to find a Gamestop, because unfortunately, I forgot Rockband 2 at the house. After hitting 4 different Gametops, we finally found a store that carried the game and we headed home to play.
Right now, we are playing Raving Rabbids for the Wii, a somewhat hilarious games that all of us can play at once. But I can hear my guest bed calling my name, and I will probably answer the call soon. Hope everyone's day was just as fun and eventful as mine!
Stay tuned for tomorrow's events as well, and hopefully, more pictures!
