Weekend in High Point

This past weekend Kyle, Sienna, and I all piled into the car to go visit Louise, in High Point.  Kyle had never seen High Point University's campus, so Louise gave us the official tour.  It was such a gorgeous day to walk around that we stopped to lounge at points, so that took most of the afternoon.  After our tour, Louise, Sienna and I snuggled in bed and took a power nap, before Kyle and I took Sienna outside to sit in the sun.  She's had to be "quiet" from her heartworm meds, and its been hard because she loves to run around and play.  It was nice to have her outside because she just has been inside a lot since she got her first shot two weeks ago.  We tried to go to the steakhouse at High Point for dinner, but something got messed up with the reservation, so we went to Liberty Brewery instead.  They had the best collard greens I've ever had! I would  happily eat just a plate of those!

On the road to High Point!

After dinner, we all got ready ready to go see Calvin Harris, who was putting on a concert just for the university.  Unfortunately I got very grumpy right before he came on, so I ended up leaving early, and Kyle came with me to make sure I got back to Louise's apartment okay.  I feel really bad I made Kyle miss the show, because he loves Calvin Harris, but he was very nice about it and said he will see Calvin at some other point.

The next day we all went to eat at Carolina's Diner in High Point, which was super good.  I love diner food!  After our brunch, Kyle, Sienna, and I drove back to Raleigh.  Sienna was such a champ about traveling, I was a super proud mom!  She is also getting fatter, so I will post some before/after pictures in the next week or so.

Kyle and I watched Skyfall last night, which I give an A+ for a movie!  I'd been wanting to see it since it came out, so it was great to finally check off the list.  Next to watch: Argo and Lincoln!

I did have a dark cloud over my weekend.  Fannie, the horse I ride a few times a week, has been in the ICU at the vet school since Saturday.  She suddenly started having serious neurological problems on Saturday and currently is mostly incapable of standing.  The vets do not yet know what is causing the problem which is bad because they can't treat her if they do not know what is wrong.  I am really worried about her, even though she is not my horse, because she is just so pleasant to be around, and I've had a lot of fun with her since I started riding her at the beginning of the year.  I'm so thankful her owners have let me ride her, so just keep them and Fannie in your thoughts and hope that her condition improves over the week!
