On Monday I got here around noon and checked in. However we had all gone out in DC to go bowling and Marek kept buying me delicious Blue Moon pints. Took us an hour to walk home after the ally closed at midnight. Apparently DC blocks take forever to walk. Plus there was a ridiculous moment every other block like begging Dominos guys to reopen for pizza rid http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Greensboro/blog-316850.html Yay Greensboro NC. First off I must mention the irony in that it took us only 3.5 hours to travel the nearly 300 miles to Greensboro while it usually takes almost 4 hours to travel the 130 miles to the beach. I wish we had a private helicopter to fly us to the beach because if only we could drive across the bay where we are in VA it would only be a 45 minute drive. But alas no bridge there...So http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Greensboro/blog-306071.html Thanks to Hannah Starr and Mary Gruber for doing a TravelBlog for their trip to Europe. You inspired me to try one for my trip to NC and SC. Tomorrow we leave for Greensboro NC. We will be spenting Friday night with Page and David Griffin. Saturday we will attend the wedding of Jeff Duffy and Kelly Stempkowski. Sunday I will be seeing more of my new relatives.

So for my last two days in North Carolina I head in to downtown Greensboro and found a great hang out Alex's Cheesecakes. There I was able to get caught up online while the dogs waited in the car for their walk. The weather was beautiful and Greensboro is small enough that you can see http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Greensboro/blog-244252.html Goodmorning This morning I'm writing from a cheerfully lit library in Greensboro as my Red Roof Inn has no internet connection. That's okay though because it helps to get me out and about. I DO like the fact that it's fine with Red Roof that I'm traveling with two pups. There isn't even an additional charge. Well let me back up a tad. I left Taylorsville for the arduous 2 hour drive to http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Greensboro/blog-241080.html Barely to Mebane and we find ourselves in JR to pick up some travelling sticks. A Picture of Maple on the road. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Greensboro/blog-81817.html Ok just a test run to figure out how this all works.
