It was a cold day in the middle of July…and to celebrate Karen’s birthday we headed first to Maggie’s Galley, a seafood restaurant in Waynesville, then to Graveyard Fields, a great hiking place along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We hiked to the Second Falls and to the Upper Falls and gloried in the beauty of the wild flowers along the way.
 
 
 
 
With Karen’s sister, niece, and her family we visited Stotfold England to walk in the footsteps of ancestors and to explore a lovingly restored historic water mill.
To meet up with some family members for the weekend, we headed north to explore Ely one day then Lavenham the next, two incredible historic communities.
As we begin venturing into Central London we explore Primrose Hill,the Victoria Memorial, the Gatti Ice House at the London Canal Museum, and the HMS Belfast with more adventures to follow.
