NC Trip

Shannon and I were in North Carolina all last week on business. I had never been to North Carolina before so I took notes:

1)The morning we left, I knew I was on my way to NC when the flight attendant offered the passengers margaritas at 8:45 in the morning. Apparently, it's never too early to drink in North Carolina. And they make a mean vodka tonic.

2)The fictional town of Mayberry, from the Andy Griffith show, was based upon the real life town of Mount Airy, North Carolina where Andy is originally from. If I'm not mistaken, we have customers there. I have mixed feelings about this seeing as I'm a huge Andy Griffith fan.

3)The people are incredibly kind. Everyone we met was so friendly; they make you feel more like a part of the family than a guest. And they certainly aren't afraid to have a good time. In particular, Rob and Donna, David, and Jon. We spent the afternoon riding around looking at locations and they had me laughing the whole time.

4)We spent majority of our time in and around Greensboro, but from what I could see North Carolina is a beautiful state. The Cherry trees were in blossom - everything was in blossom. It was gorgeous!

5)Shannon and I also discovered Liver Pudding. Yup, that's what I said - Liver Pudding. It was described to me as redneck pâté. I have yet to actually see it but it smells horrible. I hear it's made with pork livers. No one could tell me what else went into it but they swear it's delicious. I think I'll just take their word for it.
