My First Guess Where Trip

Loved the places! Truely charming as described! I lived not far from these places for 7 years and didn't know about these things nearly in my own back yard. :)

Fun day!

We were very excited to go on our day date full of surprises and we were not disappointed. The only thing I would change is the time of year we went. We missed the fall colors but that is on us not Guess Where trips. This was such a great day and we went places we never knew existed and we made lots of friends and wonderful fun memories. I have many pictures but I only shared the ones that wouldn't spoil the surprise. Will definitely do this again!
