Interesting Stops, History to the Area

Though we did not get the chance to complete the entire itinerary due to major car issues that day (sadly), the stops we did get to make were interesting and it was nice to have a guide to places we likely would have never found/explored never having been to North Carolina before. This was a family trip and the gift was given to our mother who loves to explore unique places. The trip gave just enough information to provide some insight to the stops she really wanted to go and which we could skip due to limited time. There are some tweaks this package could use in general which I have relayed to the team, but otherwise it would be nice to go back again to finish our journey one day!

Antique, picturesque, Asheville

I have completed all three, girls trip for the antique, overnight date with hubby for picturesque, mother/daughter overnight for the Asheville one. I loved everyone of them and had such a good time visiting places and exploring so close to home, yet not even knowing those places were there.
