Sunday was a road trip, well a road trip in the sense we trekked it out to the far reaching suburbs of Cary to attended a baptism for friends.

Cary is where, in essence, I grew up. Most of my formidable years were spent in that town and I made two friends that have turned into lifelong buddies. We've known each other 20+ years! We've all remained close even during times when life has taken us in different directions.

In fact, one of them is transferring to Dubai in September for a few years. Looks like to see them will require a real 'road trip'!

Anyway, the baptism was held at a church that at one time (and still might be) in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most windows. As you can see in one of the pictures, stained glass is between every brick. Technically this serves as a 'window'. Pretty cool! Pictured is our friend Suzanne (Dubai bound!) with her daughter along with Kristen and Gilbert. As you can see Gilbert hit it off with her!

After the baptism, we all congregated at a family members house for food and camaraderie. Kids abound and they were all over the house playing. Gilbert was content to plop down and just watch the action. Being the ladies' man, he was not alone for long!

As usual, Gilbert was an awesome travelers sleeping both legs of the trip. However, it was a long day and we wound down on the sofa as I watched the last few holes of the British Open (got to love digital recording). Gilbert wanted to 'chill' and he does that best with his blanket!
