bowling, floyd, & african dancing

Today happened to be a very long day, and I was really excited about it!

My friend Meghann and I were dropped off at bowling alley, and that's where she and I spent our afternoon hanging out :) It was really exciting for me, because I mean, she & I have hung out at the library before without a parent present, but this is the first time I've actually done something fun with a friend by ourselves!

She and I had an awesome time bowling together! Maybe some people think it's lame, but I really enjoy bowling, haha.
I had some extra money left, and the bowling alley had a little restaurant  so I bought us a Veggie Wrap, along with a big pretzel (and Meghann also got herself some curly fries as well!)

stuffed animal we got from the claw machine!

After bowling, Meghann's sister Shannon picked us up and drove us to Floyd, Virginia. That's where we spent a few hours there, walking around town, going into all the hippie shops, we also stopped at the Red Rooster Cafe (Shannon works there)
and we drank smoothies!~

ahaha afterwards, we drove to Roanoke, Virginia where we stopped at her uncle Ian's house.





We hosted the International Dinner / Potluck at her uncle's house - tonights theme was Africa! The reason for doing so, was that tonight in downtown Roanoke, an African music group was preforming, so we figured the African dinner would co-inside with the events tonight!

The food was pretty good, but I don't really like a lot of spicy food, and that's what a lot of the dishes were :) So it was eh for me.

Later on, we all drove over to the theater, it was a group of 10+ in total of us going. I was super excited for this performance!

It was soooo GREAT! It was incredibly lively, upbeat, and fun to dance to. During the intermission, some of the members talked about where they are from in African and what their life was like back then, which I thought was pretty awesome.

Near the end of the show, anyone who wanted to could come up and dance, so naturally Meghann and I headed up there to jam out!! It was tons of fun!! By the end of the night I was exhausted, we didn't get to Meghann's house until almost 1am! Since it was so very late, I just spent the night there :)
