I took a mini holiday to visit a friend and her growing family down in Raleigh, then took a little solo side trip over to Asheville, North Carolina.  It was hot.  I melted, big time.

It was a lot to pack into 5 days, but I did my best.  My camera didn’t get out too much to play.  Mostly a function of the heat and having a tough time adjusting.  But a good time was had overall.  I miss my friend and it was great having the opportunity to catch up.
