South Mountains State Park, North Carolina

Tucked away 18 miles south of Morganton, NC lies South Mountains State Park. It is s hidden gem, that was almost without visitors yesterday. It has lovely riverside trails, picnic areas and beautiful 80 foot High Shoals Falls.

The Quiet Side Of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee is the most visited national park in the US system, with over 9 million visitors in 2010. If you want to escape to a quite spot in the park, check out the Big Creek area on the eastern side of the park within North Carolina. This is one of my favorite areas. An old logging road follows Big Creek to Midnight Hole and Mouse Creek Falls, which is only 2 miles from the trail head.

Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia: Birthplace Of The American Revolution

 

Birthplace Of The American Revolution

 

Founded in 1699 as the capital of the British colony of Virginia, Williamsburg would go on to become the cradle of independence for the new American nation.
 

British Colonial Governor's Residence

Governor's Gardens

As the representative of the British Empire, the Governor lived in the most splendid residence in the colony, although it was much smaller than his home back in Britain.
 
Today Colonial Williamsburg is glimpse into the past that is sure to please any visitor. Many of the original homes and other buildings remain and are well preserved. They offer insight into the style of colonial life that must have been good for the upper crust of the time.
 




For those that had to work in the kitchens however, life would have been anything but pleasant.

Colonial Kitchen

 
Around the town, visitor's will find many people in period dress working in the same occupations, using the same tools and methods as would have been used in colonial times.
