Hi Readers,
I apologise for taking so long to load and post the photos from my recent trip to Boone County, North Carolina. There is simply too many photos from Sommer's and my camera combine together. After sorting through my MIL's wedding photos and the agony of arranging them in order, I simply can't drag myself to go through the nightmare by sorting the photos of our trip. So here are the photos, it's not in sequence but it's definately all in here ... =)
But before that, let me share with you all a little about our trip. To begin with, just the thought of the 10 hrs drive from Florida to North Carolina is not a funny joke. But strangely enough, the insane 10 hours drive doesn't seem like a drag at all. All of us had so much fun together, Sommer and Pete definately brought a lot of fun and laughters for Paul and myself. We were chatting, gossiping, discussing political issues, laughing and joking during the entire trip. And out of a sudden, the 10 hrs drive seems like 2 hrs. Perhaps I am the passenger and not the driver thus it's a breeze for me but none of us even took a wink during our entire night trip. We were up keeping each other company, especially the drivers - Sommer and Paul who took turns speeding up to North Carolina.
The moment I have a glimps of the mountains, the scenic view simply took my breath away. Instantly I fall in love with the lush greeneries, the cows glazing at the grass, the vast empty land, the cool weather and the friendly people. During one of our exploration trip, in the arm pit of nowhere, middle of the mountains, my jaws dropped. We just walk right through the place where the fairies live, there was no one in sight, trees were everywhere and all the flowers are in full bloom. Even thought it was drizzling, it's simply breath taking and so wonderfully beautiful and romantic. So here we are, the four of us (Sommer, Pete, Paul & me) started exploring the mountains, catching our breath and taking in the amazing view all at the same time. Oh did I mention that I was at the mountain where the movie "COLD MOUNTAIN" by Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweger and Jude Law was filmed, cool huh ! =)
During our time in Boone County, North Carolina, we also drove to this store which apparently had been there since the 1800s and boy was I amazed ! They have musicians who are playing instruments and singing country songs. The moment I stepped into the store I felt like I was transported back to the 1800s and my horse are parked out in the front. The stores are old but the products are new. I was shocked when I discovered they carry TIGER BALM product. Holy Cow ! I couldn't believe my eyes and I am not kidding either, a Singapore product right in the middle of the mountain and in this antique shop, so like a super excited tourist, I've took a picture of it too. And right at this point, even thought it's Tiger Balm, I am so damn proud to point that out to Paul and Sommer.
There are simply too many fun and special times to share with all of you. Right to the moment when Paul and me are sitting in the back seat chillin and Sommer was driving us all back to Florida. She look so adorable when she's driving and singing along with the songs from the CDs.
Regardless, I hope these pictures give you a glimps of the fun time we had and some of the best moment captured. This is definately one of the best trip Paul and myself have took in a long while. And we think it's all thanks to Sommer and Pete, they definately make the best travelling partners and they rock this trip !
