From Savannah, we drove up to North Carolina (for the record, not all that close), making this Ava's longest road trip yet. She seemed not to mind too much, as the road to North Carolina is paved with biscuits.

| Ava's first fast food meal. She ordered biscuits. And got some biscuits to go. |
In North Carolina, we had a mini family reunion with the other side of Ava's family. We played drums with new cousins, wrestled the old ones, visited the zoo (99 degrees!), and Ava attended her first wedding (99 degrees! Outdoor event!).

| Ava couldn't lift Ian--though not for lack of trying--but she certainly could pin him down like a chump. |

| Eating heartily |

| I mentioned the heat, right? |
We left with some important reminders about life itself: family is great, love is sweet, and sometimes you have to drive 45 minutes to the "best biscuit place ever" to realize that the best biscuit place ever is located a block from your home in Portland.
