Road Trip: Raleigh and Durham, NC // Tracey Gurley Paintings

This weekend is my hubby's 20th college reunion and we're getting up before the crack of dawn to get our butts in the car and on the road to Raleigh-Durham, NC. Since time is short there and the road is long, I want to try and make the most of the daylight hours we're there, so hope to get down by 2pm Thursday. While there, I'm hoping to have time to go see the fabulous paintings of Tracey Gurley at her home studio. Some favorites are her Mums and Geraniums...her Etsy shop is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5511673

Mason is ALREADY complaining of the early start. I just don't want to spend all the daylight hours in the car and not have to put Ryan from the car-seat to the bed, which I KNOW she won't do - she'll need to run around before going to bed. He soon forgets the nightmare of a trip to Charlottesville, VA when we did what he's suggesting and she was awake until 2am. I can see this is going to be a lloonngggg night.
