Blowing Rock

Last Saturday we took Adam and Catherine to Blowing Rock. Adam has been once before but it was March and it was just over freezing. It was warmer this trip. We took a picnic lunch and ate at Price Park. We of course picked a table on the other side of the creek so we had to cross the creek to get to the table. We had a nice table across from a Lutheran group of Senior Adults. We got to hear most of their announcements. Cheap entertainment.

After we had lunch we drove up on the Parkway and across the Viaduct. It was a beautiful day! We took a short 'hike' (MA doesn't hike) on the Rough Ridge trail and took in the views from there. The views were amazing.

Then we walked around downtown BR for a while. It was different not having Lexie there with us. We ate an early dinner at the Six Pence Pub, one of our favorites.

After dinner we went by the outlets to do a little shopping. Of course we found some good deals. It was a long day out, but another good one.
