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. But it was a nice place to stay, and at least, we got to tour the town of Asheville. Being … Continue reading Asheville, North Carolina

Ocracoke Island, North Carolina
Off the Coastal Plains of North Carolina is an isolated island along the Outer Banks. This last Memorial Weekend, I took my first car-carrying ferry in my life to Ocracoke Island. 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
Tryon Palace, New Bern, North Carolina
This weekend, I finally got to get out of the house and take a day trip down to Tryon Palace in New Bern, North Carolina. I wanted to visit for a while now.

Roanoke Island, North Carolina

But, there are truly some hidden treasures there, … Continue reading Roanoke Island, North Carolina

Bath … Continue reading Historic Bath, North Carolina and Washington, North Carolina Ghost Walk
House in the Horseshoe, North Carolina
This weekend, I traveled to view a historic planation, the House in the Horseshoe, in northern Moore County, an hour southwest from Raleigh. Amongst the fields of corn and hay, on a hilltop above the Deep River, is one of the first large houses of North Carolina’s upland frontier built around 1772 by Phillip Alston. … Continue reading House in the Horseshoe, North Carolina
Washington, North Carolina
This weekend I decided to take a small stay-cation here in North Carolina. No work, no researching for my WIP, just a small day trip to relax the mind. Also with price of gas and the lack of time, I was just looking for a quick escape. Fortunately, North Carolina is rich with little gems snuggled … Continue reading Washington, North Carolina
