We were put behind and had to miss parts of our trip due to not having our car the first night and getting on the road first thing the next morning. After that we had a good time.

We went to Winston-Salem and Mt. Airy. Both were lovely. This time of year, with the trees turning colors, was spectacular. Old Salem is such an impressive place.

Brown Mountain Beach near Lenoir, NC was a gorgeous spot to swim. The Schiele Museum in Gastonia offered a family-friendly atmosphere!
