Taking the Scenic Route in N.C.

I’m ready for an amazing adventure every time I step into Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. This time would be dramatically different since the only plan I had to make was my travel arrangements from ATL to GSO. The rest of my day was left in the qualified hands of my host. And, when someone has seen the world through your eyes for over 10 years it makes them more than capable of introducing you to beautiful places you’re guaranteed to fall in love with at first sight.

I welcome you to enjoy the picturesque views from Boone to Blowing Rock, North Carolina. There was passing rain during the day that essentially enhanced my experience as I was able to hear the roll of thunder and see the precipitation falling over the mountains in the distance. Looking out over Blowing Rock reminded me of when I went skydiving. In the initial moments of free-falling from the plane I was engulfed in and enamored by the endless allure of nature on earth just as I was as I took in all the day offered scenically in North Carolina.
