Tuesday-Today was rainy on and off. Good day to do our laundry. We hung around the hotel for the morning and just when we were getting ready to leave to go shopping the sun seemed to be trying to break through the clouds. We wanted to check out the KOA in Boone first. The road there was narrow, steep with many u-turns and it's far. As we were trying to get there I was thinking that there is NO WAY that I would ever camp there. I'm sure it's beautiful...most places around here are, but the travel there would be difficult, if not dangerous. I could only hope that there's another easier way to get there than the way the GPS directed us. But I'm glad we now know...if Molly's still here next year and we have our RV, I know to not book that place. Beautiful views though!
We hadn't bought Molly anything for her birthday so we headed to TJMaxx. She shopped her heart out and got many beautiful things. I got a bathing suit...our hotel has a nice hot tub that I may need with these hikes! We had lunch at Panera while we had another downpour, but by the time we were done it was alright again.
We headed to downtown so Molly could find out where to vote, parked the car and another downpour! It was raining so hard that after Molly found out where she needed to go we nixed the wandering around the shops to get in the car and take her to Cove Creek so she could vote. They have a nice little community center. While she did her civic duty we checked out all it had to offer. The building houses the library as well. They have a room with many looms and different arts and crafts. They have computers, a community room, kitchen... really cute little place. There must be an after school program as well. A lot packed into that little building.
After a brief break from the rain it started to pour again so we nixed the shopping again til tomorrow and headed back to the hotel to wait for Brian and to check out places to eat dinner. Of course once we got back the rain stopped for a while and the sun came out. That's the kind of day it was. At least it was warm.
Once Brian got out of work and showered we decided on a nice Italian Restaurant...Joe's Jazzy Rest. It was really good and pretty reasonable. Brian left with many leftovers for lunch tomorrow and he tried his first canoli...yummm.
Although the rain changed our plans, we had another nice day in North Carolina.
