Whitewater Rafting!

Brent and I got away to Charlotte for the weekend on our very last hoorah in our twenties. It's horrible to think that I will be 30 this time next week! It really makes me want to take a melon baller to my eyes. I'm not feeling it at all! To add insult to injury, I'm starting to hoard wrinkles and gray hairs. Plastic surgery and gray-coverage-hair-dye, here I come!

Anyway, we went on a Whitewater Rafting trip at the U.S. National Whitewater Center and Olympic training site. It was awesome and the rapids were amazing! The first course we went down was class 2-3 rapids and the second course was 3-4. A lot of the rafts got dumped over because the currents were so strong. Brent almost got tossed out but pulled through in the end. There was also a looming thunderstorm so it rained the entire time we were on the water. It was so much fun!

We spent the rest of our time in Charlotte enjoying big city shopping and restaurants. Besides the rafting, the second thing I'll remember from the trip was the enormous amounts of cherry blossom trees that were up there in full bloom. They were just gorgeous! We missed the babes terribly but had an amazing time sending some of our final days in our twenties out with a bang!
