OMG! I just got back from vacation yesterday.
My family and I went on our summer vacation to Amelia Island, Florida. I knew we were going there. But, what I didn't know was that we were making a little pit stop in Albemarle on our way to Florida!
My parents planned this trip months ago and somehow managed to keep it a secret from Katie and I. But the sad thing was, Katie couldn't go because she was still sick.

But I called her while we were there so she kind of felt like she was there.
My dad was really nervous when we got close to Albemarle because of all of the signs that said "Albemarle: 25 miles" or something. But I only saw one sign and luckily it was the way we were NOT going. But I was like "OMG dad! Can we please go to Albemarle? It's right there!" And my mom was like "No, we need to keep driving."
But then, I saw Kellie's high school. I wasn't sure, but I thought she went to North Stanly High School. So I made my dad pull over so I could get a picture in front of it. By then, I knew we were definately close to Albemarle so my dad just told me. He said "Lauren, we are spending the night in Albemarle and we're eating dinner at Sonic!" And, well, I screamed!
It was so cool to be in the very place that Kellie grew up in. I got pictures in front of the Sonic she worked at too.
I asked my dad if I could post them on here and he said no. But I'll ask my mom. She'll say yes. LOL. I'll post them ASAP!
