Back to school this year is definitely at its most exciting. First of all, it’s my senior year, which is pretty cool in itself, but more importantly…I have a car! My mom got a company car, so my dad took her car and I got to take his! I drove back down to school with another friend from Richmond and now I’m parked outside my dorm, ready to make a list of all the things in North Carolina that I want to do in the next few months. I plan on driving all over the state and seeing and doing everything! Senior year is supposed to be fun, right? This area I’m starting with is kinda near Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Asheville. Sort of near the North Carolina-Virginia Border in the Southern Appalachian Mountain region.
- Tweetsie Railroad Theme Park – Blowing, North Carolina – Looks totally cheesy, but I doubt I’ll have any trouble filling up the car for this one!
- Pisgah National Forest – North Carolina – This is near Tweetsie Railroad, so maybe we’ll do some camping while we’re there.
- Western North Carolina Nature Center – Asheville, North Carolina – Why not?
- Blue Ridge Motion Pictures – Ashville, North Carolina – Who knew there was a movie studio in North Carolina?
- Chimney Rock Park – In the Appalachian Mountains, supposed to be beautiful, and if we plan it well, there are concerts and festivals going on every so often.
- Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa – Ashville, North Carolina – I’m going to have to think of a really good excuse to get my parents to chip in towards this one…
It’s gonna be a great year!
