during our week at green mountain rv in lenoir, we mostly went on cool outdoor adventures. but, we also had a couple of days where we just visited blowing rock and boone. our first stop was to check out the place where derek and i got married, once upon a time. the time was 2001, […]

“i can’t stand it!”(charles schulz museum)
