Asheville, North Carolina
Last week, during the Fourth of July, I took a trip to the mountains with my family, hoping to escape the blasted heat. Didn’t work. The near hundred degree weather just followed us from Raleigh.

Okay, at first I was scared. Passenger ferries have been one thing, but lugging my car over water – yeah, I had nightmares. But … Continue reading Ocracoke Island, North Carolina

Mount Vernon, Virginia
What better way to understand the man behind the legend of General George Washington then to visit his beloved estate, Mount Vernon. Fifty acres open to the public to view and be swept back in time to the late 1700s. There is so much to see and the grounds are gorgeous. First thing I did … Continue reading Mount Vernon, Virginia
