Another Monday, another conclusion of a great North Carolina weekend. We stayed mostly around HQ this weekend, because the heat and because we were too busy living a bit vicariously from some of your awesome photos of Carolina summer weddings, cross-country train trips and recording a few of our own dreams. Plus, as we speed towards the official end of summer, we want to relax some too and enjoy that last bit of slightly-slow paced, Carolina summer. But again it’s Monday and it’s news time:
