A New Favorite Hotel!

     Our oldest child left for college this fall.  I really can't believe that we finally reached this point in our family.  It is one of the saddest things we have experienced.  She is happy, though and in a wonderful place, which makes it a little more bearable for us.  The only good thing about her being so far away is a little boutique hotel just a few minutes walk from her dorm.  It is called...  The Carolina Inn.  I put it in bold and italics, because it deserves it!  Oh my goodness!  And when you say it, it must be with a southern drawl.  (You might as well read the rest of the post that way.)  It is perfection.  I love everything about it.  The rooms are just beautiful-- the bedding is luxurious and the bathrooms make me want to redo mine! The restaurant is divine--especially the fried oysters; Everyone there makes you feel like they might have known your grandmother.  But, the best thing of all, Maggie is only two minutes away.  I already have my reservation for this May when we pack her up and bring her home for the summer!!

  2. Ali, Great blog! It's hard to imagine sending my daughters away to college, but it won't be long. UNC is an excellent school, and it seems you've found a great place to stay while visiting! However, we're only 20 minutes away, and our doors are always open for a visit. Also, if you ever need someone local to help with any needs, please know that my wife and I are available!
