A Blessed Labor Day Weekend and a Challenge to Pay it Forward

Travel > Local
A couple of weeks ago Laurie said we need a weekend away. She was right. We planned a trip to the NC mountains on Silvia our Gold Wing motorcycle and a stay in the Oak Hill Bed and Breakfast in Waynesville, NC. She lucked out and the weather was perfect after many days of 90+ temperatures.
