OK, I haven't gotten disciplined to blog with regularity yet. I actually have it time blocked on my calendar but I have to stop getting side tracked.  

Anyway, what I love about North Carolina is you have everything in one state. Beaches at one end and mountains at the other and everything in between. The temperatures varies so If you like it warmer stay south and east, colder north and west. I live at the freeze line and something tells me this winter is going to be cold. I don't remember it being this cold in November in a long while and that was after having one of the warmest Octobers!  

The many historic towns are wonderful and each has its own charm and appeal. (I love going in the antiques shops.) NC has also done a terrific job of restoring old tobacco buildings and turning them into retail shops and restaurants.  

Do you like the great outdoors? You can indulge yourself in water sports at the beach or go hiking, biking, trails, golfing, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, cross-country skiing, rock-climbing and horseback riding. Did I leave anything out? Go here http://www.visitnc.com/  

Discover one of our best kept secrets - the Land of Waterfalls in Transylvania County. See our 260 waterfalls that are even more spectacular when decorated with glittering icicles in the winter.  

Fun facts, NC has more paved miles of road than any other state in the USA. You'll also find more that 120 species of trees in NC and that's more than most of Europe and Putt-Putt Golf was invented in Fayetteville.

There is so much to do and see, I have to go plan my next vacation!
