Road to NC

Through the mountain tunnel

The road to North Carolina

Tunnels are kinda stressful, but not nearly as bad as driving through the mountains during a rainstorm. We're grateful the rains pittered out before too long so the roads weren't too treacherous.

I ended up getting a cool short video of he drive through the tunnel as well, but it was too large to share.

Once we arrived in Taylorsville I ended up sleeping almost the entire day Monday, the lost night before Dollywood really caught up with me. Mom left to explore the town with her friend Lisa and hopefully had a grand ole time. After I finally woke up Lisa and her husband Rick, took us out to eat at  place called Cagney's Kitchen. Their onion rings weren't my favorite, but their popcorn shrimp and fries were to die for~

Then, after dinner we cruised through the town and stopped at the local Food Lion where I found the Holy Grail! Cheerwine.

It was so relaxing and fun being in Taylorsville, but alas it was only stop one on the NC Memory Tour. So morning of Tuesday the 4th, we hit the road again with Mount Airy in our sights!
