O'Donnell's, Boiling Springs, and Ryan's first day

Back home for the beach, we got ready for Ryan's first day of work.  We was up early and ready go in his new practice-issued scrubs.  I took a few pics of him leaving for the office.

That weekend we were invited out to dinner with Dr. Friedman, his wife and two of their friends.  We enjoyed a meal at the historic Boiling Springs Tavern and then headed out to the Holly Inn to see a country band perform in the banquet room.  The band, The O'Donnell's were really good - they are a father/son duo singing bluegrass and country songs.  They have great voices, I'd see them again!  It was especially pleasant because although we sat right by the speakers, it wasn't ear-splitting loud.

On the way home around midnight, Ryan got pulled over when a cop turned onto the road behind him and noticed his expired Utah plates (neither of us had all the right paperwork to get our PA plates right away).  We both kind of yammered on about the titles and VIN verification, and hey look we got our PA licenses but are still working on the plates because we went to Greece between Salt Lake and here and that why our plates or expired, are you following?The cop was nice and everything, but decided that since it was late on a friday night, and we were in essence driving home from a bar, that he wanted to do some "field sobriety tests" with Ryan.

We weren't worried, Ryan only had one glass of wine with dinner, which was at least 3 or 4 hours ago.  I waited in the car while Ry followed a pen with his eyes and walked toe-heel a few times.   It took a while and both the car windows were down.  I wanted to pit them up but didn't want the cop to see me going for the keys as Ryan was being tested.  He passed the breathalyzer and we were on out way with a warning to get our PA plates.

On the way home we laughed thinking that Dr. Friedman probably drove right past us as Ryan is blowing into a plastic tube on the side of the road.
