North Carolina (East)



We got into the KOA Campground at Smithfield NC about 4:30 on Thursday. That night was a warm one and the kiddos hopped in the pool and we planned our next few days. Friday we headed up to Chapel Hill and did a whirlwind drive by of the campus (it's huge) and then hit Whole Foods for lunch (we ate in a covered playground in the Commons) and supplies. Sorry, no pictures, we forgot the camera ; ( Then it was back to camp for more swimming and dinner. After a disappointing talk with one of the employees first night here, Julia had a long conversation with a commercial renovator about the pros and cons of living in NC and where while David kept the kids busy in the pool. Later today we're off to the KOA at Boone, NC Surprisingly, Julia knows two people who lived there at some point. It's north of Asheville and the area borders on the Blue Ridge mountains. We're going to look at a small community called West Jefferson--their many industry is growing Christmas trees and art galleries (?) per their web site: http://www.townofwj.com/ How tranquil is that.
More later...
