Two days ago, me and my mom left at 4 am to begin our journy to Wilmington! Overall, the trip went quite well with the exception of a minor sideswipe. Stupid sleepy driver! We left soooo early because we wanted to avoid the Chicago rush hour as much as possible. We drove threw a corner of Illinois, most of Indiana, all of Ohio, and we stayed in West Virginia for a night. Overall, the drive from WI to WV was about 10.5 hours. It was so beautiful driving threw WV with all of the forests, mountains, and hills. Our hotel was, um, interesting. The bottom floor was in renavation, the elevator stopped working, they turned the water off for, like, two hours, when the water was turned back on, it was lukewarm - not warm enough for a shower, and the temperature thing on the faucet in the bathroom was flip-flopped. It wasn't too bad; we just found it funny.
On the way to NC once we left the hotel, we got to drive threw a freakin' mountain! Form WV to NC, the drive was about 6-7 hours.
Once we arrived in the Wilmington area, we went to the Stanely Rehder Carnivorous Plant Gardens and the Green Swamp Preserve. It was amazing at Green Swamp! There were SO MANY SUNDEWS; D. brevifolia(?), capillaris, and intermedia. And, believe it or not, more VFTs. Like, hundreds and hundreds. It was easy to tell cause of their flowers. There were also S. flava, rubra, purpurea, and rosea(?).
Here are some pics: I can't add more cause I don't have good internet so I'll make a new posts with the rest of the pics.
