MEMORIES OF THE SOUTH




Tsk, tsk - I'm back in BC now and the update about my NC trip that I meant to post sooner is only now just materializing....hmmmm. Still though - I wanted to share some of my experiences and pics from what was a GREAT vacation.

I loved everything about the south. It was funny cause everything that was remotely different from Toronto, or Canada - I would promptly proclaim it's because we're in the south! :) Some of it I believe was at least in part true - like having grits for breakfast. Just today I delved into my rationed bit of grits I had brought back :)

Here are my top 10 favourite memories from my NC trip are:

10. Wine tasting @ the Biltmore Winery
9. Tasting for multiple "1st times" - the key lime dip for the pretzels
8. The extremely gruelling & intense hike up the Devil's Courthouse & watching the sunset (see attached pics)
7. Morningstar & the Mexican restaurant after with an infusion of Colonel Sanders :)
6. Cookies w/Andes chocolate, cookies w/white chocolate, cookies w/Heath bar in the mix, cookies w/marachino cherries on top......
5. Going to town!
4. Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper
3. "Lloyd" - the friendly cricket of the sink
2. Tanning & more importantly - Swimming in November
1. My 3 amigos - w/o them the other things on this list would've been very bland.....
