It is a beautiful area, and nothing can compare to a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Betsy and I have traveled the entire length of it a couple of times now and are always ready to go again.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923630536753873113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-6643614656305045992012-06-26T17:40:59.249-04:002012-06-26T17:40:59.249-04:00Gorgeous pics and we were so close to retiring in ...Gorgeous pics and we were so close to retiring in NC. I love it there and your photos prove how beautiful it is, esp. the Blue Ridge Parkway. That's interesting about Tom Dula. I googled it and Dula was pronounced as Dooley and later years with the song and all, it was assumed to be Dooley. This is an interesting post and I would love to return there soon!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158336083462589188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-51744635596699320312012-06-26T12:27:31.764-04:002012-06-26T12:27:31.764-04:00You were right - I did want to see all the shots -...You were right - I did want to see all the shots - very nice and not hazy at all :) The Christmas tree farms are so interesting.

I completely understand why the girls would want to shop some more. <br /><br />We enjoy the Christmas tree farms around Highlands, which is closer for us. <br /><br />I totally agree about the dog comment.
