If you think it is balmy now, you should come back in July and August. I hope you enjoy your travels through the Blue Ridge Mountains. You will definitely find it much cooler there than in Charlotte. I grew up in Western NC, so I'm quite biased in saying that I think it is one of the prettiest places in the world. (Of course as a Hawaii enthusiast and blogger, Hawaii has to be "up there" as well.) :) If you find yourself in Boone, try a family style dinner at the Daniel Boone Inn or grab a sandwich at Macadoos. Blowing Rock is nearby and is a quaint little mountain town. There are also lots of art galleries in and around the area. I hope you enjoy!! Hi Sheila – Welcome to North Carolina!

Well, except for the NASCAR stuff - you can keep that. :) I grew up near New Orleans and our family summer vacations took us all over the South, including your lovely neck of the woods. I've always loved that part of the country and wanted to live there before fate planted me in a paradise many thousands of miles away. Thanks especially for reporting on the eclectic art and cultural offerings. Lucky, lucky you! I’m here for the Carnival of Cities and quite envious of your itinerary.
