My visit to North Carolina

Here is a page that will be put into the 2011 monthly album book of events or things I've done each month. The only outstanding thing that happened in October was my visit to North Carolina to visit my sister, Vicki, and her husband, Jim. We had fun.  My brother, Ron, and I left early Thursday, October 20 and came home on the 25th. We had to take a plane to Charlotte, N C. Ron went stand-by since he worked for US Airways and he was very lucky and made it on all the flights we had to take. Once in North Carolina we had a 2 hour layover and then took a bumper plane to Tri Cities airport in Tennessee. Vicki and Jim picked us up there and then we went to their home outside of Boone, North Carolina. It was a little over an hour drive. North Carolina is beautiful. The Fall colors came early this year and the leaves had already started to drop. Most of the deep red was gone but we still got to see plenty of color. We drove around and saw the most fanatic scenery.
