My bud Alexander graduated from High School this month!
To celebrate, we all went out to eat at The Blue Note Grill in Durham, and then I took Alexander and our friend Tara (visiting from Iowa) out for a night on the town in Durham.
Alexander seemed to really enjoy and appreciate this adventure.
The next day we took a tour of the Scrap Exchange!
And then, as we made our sleepy way back home from Durham to Siler City, headed down 15-501, approaching the Bynum Bridge, Alexander made one last request...
And that was to visit one of our favorite spots, below the damn there on the Haw.
We had explored this area one hot summer day several years ago, in celebration of surviving a very messy summer camp that we had both worked that summer.
I know that that memory had always stuck with Alex, as it had I, and it somehow seemed like a perfect way to finally commemorate Alex's passage.
We made a long trek down the dam that day, and I think that it will long be etched in all of our minds.
