| May 29 - Jun.4, 2009 Friday we left the kids area and headed “West” to the Maggie Valley, Waynesville area of NC. We stayed for the week at a Coast to Coast Camp along Jonathan Creek called Pride RV Resort. The creek was at full flow as the local rains had put a lot of water into the mountains. Saturday we visited a quilt show sponsored by the Shady Ladies of the area. They get their name from meeting in the Shady Presbyterian Church. It was a neat show and one of the quilts shown had won first prize in Paris France. A lot of talent exists in these hills. We had a great lunch at the show and then headed back to the coach. Monday we visited Maggie Valley which is a pretty little town in the hills of NC. It is a small town with many restaurants and some stores and has large fair grounds where they put on festivals etc. We also went into the historic part of Waynesville and visited some of the local shops and stores. Had BBQ at Fat Buddies before we headed back to the coach. We spent Tuesday in Pigeon Forge, TN visiting Bev’s cousin and husband who are working at Dollywood this summer. We enjoyed the visit and got to see a dinner show called the Smith Family. It was great with some super talent, singing songs and doing impersonations. Although Wednesday was cloudy and some rain showers Bev went to the local Quilt shop and got some nice fabric. Some of these shops she finds in her Quilt Shop Directory that lists all the quilt shops across the country. It allows her to find fabrics one does not see in the Lakeland area and in many instances the cloth is cheaper per yard than at home. |
