We took a short vacation trip. Visited North Carolina for 10 days. It's hard to pick a highlight of the trip. We spent several hours at the Biltmore House in Asheville. We had been there once before over twenty years ago. It is a fabulous place.

We went by Hickory and took Kay Lyn to lunch. It had been several years since we had seen her. We didn't get to see Donnie.

After that we drove on to Hillsborough and visited with Margaret for two days, then it was on to the Outer Banks. But we did stop by in the Chapel Hill area to visit the Southern Living Idea House.

The place where we stayed in Beaufort was originally the county poor home.
