A Day in Raleigh

We spent a great day in Raleigh on Sat 10/18. We traveled south and visited Kathleen's sister and her family and then went to a picnic hosted by some great friends. Monica and Shawn throw a pig pickin' every year that includes some great blue grass music. Shawn smoked some delicious pork and chicken and Chuck and the Wagin' Ears played and sang some top notch blue grass. Although the weather was not as nice as the year before, the food, music, and visiting was great.

RAE Conference in Providence, RI

I attended, and spoke at, the Restore America's Estuaries Conference Oct 13 -Oct 15. I enjoyed the conference but really enjoyed the city. A beautiful city with lots of great pubs, restaurants, and architecture. The city has done a great job building their city around the river that runs through it. A great trip that only would have been better if Kathleen could have gone.
