On the Road Day 5 - NC, VA

Sadly, we had to leave Nashville this morning. I have to say, out of all the states I have visited on this trip, Tennessee is definitely the one to beat. Today's travels took us out of Tennessee and into North Carolina where we picked up the Blue Ridge Parkway. This scenic road, an American road, travels along the crest of the blue ridge mountains from North Carolina all the way to Virginia. It is quite the scenic drive, all though it is a lot more scenery of forests and trees then it is of the mountains. Below are some pictures from the drive:

When we left the Blue Ridge Mountains we passed through a small town called Galax. Here are three reasons why I loved this town:

1. The sign outside the church read Happy 50th Birthday Ronald and Donald!
2. Off to the side of the previous sign was the advertisement for Bingo every Wednesday. However, underneath Ronald and Donald's birthday announcement was the note "No bingo this Wednesday" due to the fourth of July Holiday.
3. But don't fret! Instead of playing bingo on Wednesday you can go down to the Fourth of July fair at the high school where they have . . . lawnmower racing!!

I told you Galax, VA was awesome.
