We left on Friday just for the heck of it.  Jill, Lea, and I drove up together Shana came up separately and Eva couldn't make it.  We stayed at The Green Park Inn, which is supposedly haunted.  I don't think it was haunted but I do think it was really old.  After we checked in we went out in search of The Mountain Times  because we were hoping there would be write up about us and sure enough there was!!!!  When we got back to the hotel the power was off - lighting hit it.  We left again to go walk around and ended up getting soaked from all the rain.  Not so good for jill and I who only had a few things to wear for the whole weekend.  We met up with Shana and headed to Canyons to hear Tater. 

They were lots of fun.  Afterwards we drove into Boone to the Huddle House.  It was a really long but really fun day.  Sat. I woke up really early ready to start the day but the rest of the girls slept in.  We headed to Boone to eat at one of my favorite Restaurants Angelica's.  We went to a few stores and got soaked again.  Got back to the hotel, Jill and I took a nap, while Shana and Lea played music on the porch.  I joined them after I woke up and then finally Jill came too.  It was a nice to practice right before the show.  Then we got ready and headed to Canyons.  They provided us with a very nice dinner.  Sound check took some time but we only started a few minutes late.  Lots of people came because of the write up which was very exciting.  We played 3 45 min. sets and only repeated 2 or 3 songs.  We sold some merch and met some very nice people from Blowing Rock and believe it or not some from Charlotte.  It was about 2:30am when we got back to the hotel and everyone was outside and there were police and fire engines.  We waited about an hour before they let us back in.  There was no fire but because of the event we got an even bigger discount than we had originally thought. 

This is how we wreck a hotel room...with knitting needles and jingle bells!!

The next morning we woke up pretty early but not early enough to beat the crowd at Dan'l Boone Inn.  We stopped one last time in Blowing Rock to buy Don and Doug some stupid b-day presents. And then we went home.
