The Friday Five
Apr. 30th, 2021 04:24 pm1) What's the furthest place you've traveled to in the last 12 months? The the nearby city of Winston-Salem for doctor's appts. It's about 30 miles away.
2) What's the most interesting small town within driving distance? Pilot Mountain is my favorite. It has several small businesses I love - like a great cupcake bakery, an art shop, some crafty places and it's also the town where we bank and buy our groceries. It has a population of about 1600 and a lovely mountain that gives the town its name. Here's a link to see the mountain: https://www.ncparks.gov/pilot-mountain-state-park/home
3) What's the coolest tourist attraction in your city? I live in the middle of nowhere but another nearby town is the birthplace and childhood home of Andy Griffith from the old tv show: The Andy Griffith Show and it was actually based on the town and surrounding area. There are museums and lots of show related stuff to do there.
4) What was your favorite road trip you took as a kid? Every July, we would travel, along with several other families, to Kure Beach, NC for a week of fun in the sun.
5) How often do you feel like you've got to get away? Now, it doesn't matter. It isn't safe but soon, we hope to do some traveling - maybe to California and back to Germany. I think a getaway would do everyone some good these days.
