Back from our trip to North Carolina. Had a great time. Leaves were gorgeous! Loved visiting with family. Dad took us to every thrift shop and flea market that he knew of! GOOD TIMES! On Friday they took us to a little mom and pop restaurant in downtown Blowing Rock called KNIGHTS. Friday is Fresh Oyster Day! I'm not a huge fan of oysters but these are so good! perfectly battered. fresh from the shore. Stood in line for over an hour to get a plate full (well, we shopped and the others stood in line for us!) Asked the guy in the kitchen and he said they ordered 84 dozen for that day. I bet they sold out by 1:00. It was a huge plateful...probably a dozen on each plate!
Finished our day on Saturday with a visit to the festival in the Valley. Posted a pic below...be sure to see how beautiful the mountains are all around this festival. Loved it when my dad stood beside me, turned me around 360 degrees and then said, "if you didn't believe in God...this view would change your mind"! A memory that I know I'll never forget!!
The last two photos are from a shop on Main St. in Blowing Rock. A mantle scape from one of their many gorgeous rooms of displays and merchandise! Trying to remember the name...it'll come to be one of these days!
