Weekend Adventure Part 2

Day 2 of my travel adventure with Kathy started in Charlottesville, Virginia, before breakfast, we made a side trip to see the big butt...
Charlottesville Big Butt
This Big Butt is in a parking lot that is by a crazy art park and brewery, Andrew and I are gonna go back to see more funky art and have a brew or two.

We grabbed a quick bite at Hardee's, can't beat a steak biscuit and hash rounds. 

Heading south on Rt 15 we traveled along some beautiful country roads and found some more love.


And then we found some trolls.


We found our way to Raleigh and right in the middle of college football traffic, NC State was playing ECU and traffic was crazy nuts, but Kathy managed to get us to our hotel, we did some decompressing, had a glass of wine and figured out where to go to linner. 

OMGeeee...Kathy found, The Oak - Kitchen and Bourbon Bar. Kathy got us a Uber, and we headed out for a bite before the restaurant got too crowded. I won't write a whole review here, I did that on yelp, but the food was farppen amazing, service matched the food, this makes me wish I lived closer so I could eat my way through the menu.



If you have a chance to stop in...you won't regret it.

We enjoyed our dinner and glass of wine, and it was time to head to the NC Museum of Art. The concert was held in their outdoor pavilion, we had lawn seats, with no chairs or blanket, but you know what we were having a great time, making fun memories and did not give one hoot...bonus, the ground was dry. I didn't take any pictures but let me tell you that Mipso rocked and had me singing and swaying and Kathy and I left the concert hoarse from singing and screaming.

We decided to take a scenic route home, so up early after a late night. After breakfast at Bojangles, we headed towards the Blue Ridge Parkway via Lynchburg VA.

As we were heading towards Lynchburg, Kathy made a quick u-turn...

Kathy spotted Maters from Cars and a weird metal bird, check out our ride!

We made it to Lynchburg and found more love #VAISFORLOVERS


We made it to the Parkway...

One of our favorite songs, Carolina Calling, https://youtu.be/mQ6ov61atsQ

We stopped along the way to enjoy the flowers, and this field was alive


Monarch Butterfly on Goldenrod
We left the Parkway and drove a few more backroads of Virginia, traveling through Crozet VA (best pizza place ever), we didn't stop for pizza but instead stopped to gas up the car and grab a cold drink before finding some LOVE.

We made our way back home...tired but fully re-charged after a weekend of friendship and fun. If you haven't take a girls road-trip, do it, if you haven't take one in forever, do it...heck...just do it! This trip was exactly what my soul and mind needed.

Thanks for traveling along...

Until Next Time
Be Kind
