First Day in Mount Airy

Today the weather was perfect. We went for a hike at Stone Mountain, we were told it would go for about 20 minutes, so we all wore comfortable walking attire and we are thankful we did as the hike went for about 2 hours. It was absolutely beautiful, it actually reminded me a little of Bald Rock near Tenterfield, we really enjoyed it and speaking for myself really needed to walk as I am eating too much.

We than went to Basin Creek for lunch, where there were deer heads (amoung others) on the wall just as you would see in a movie. It is common to have chips (as in crisps) with ranch sauce as a starter or side, which we are definately not used to.

After lunch we proceeded to Raffaldine Winery and tried some North Carolinian wines. The setting was absolutely beautiful. The wineries theme is Tuscany. As we were sitting in the sun overlooking the Yadkin Valley, I could have easily settled in with a glass of wine for the afternoon.

However, no rest for the wicked next stop was Flint Hill Winery where we had a melt in your mouth dinner before we finished with our presentation.

We are all having a great time.

Misadventure of the Day

Although it would be great to say that Steve had been awarded the misadventure of the day, I think Chris has showed him up.

As you all know Chris is extremely tall, due to his height he hit his head numerous times today during our hike and hoping into the car. Although to his credit he folded himself up into the far back seat today (well done). He also changed his presentation tonight refering to Cricket as boring.
