NC treasures

Last night was our ward's quarterly enrichment activity. Being the new Enrichment Leader has been fun so far. We have gotten loads of feedback as far as activites that the gals in the church would like to participate in. Last night we accomplished 3...summer salads with receipe exchange, along with a children's clothing swap, and learning about the wicked awesome things to do in NC. (Penny is modeling a few of my finds @ the swap. She is wearing a pink pr. of shorts, a black skirt, a dress, with a tank over top of it.) I must say that Googling these activities was a lot of fun. I learned so many things about our state. There are 7 light houses in NC; Cape Hatteras, Cape Lookout, Ocracoke, Bald Head, Oak Island, Currituck Beach, Bodie Island. Talk about history...there are tours galore with outdoor Lost Colony dramas. Not to mention all the aquariums, like the one in Fort Fisher that are @ the coast.

Then there are all sorts of museums...like this one in Winston Salem, this one in Raleigh, this one in Spencer, this one in Mt. Gilead, this one in Asheville, and this one in Cherokee.

NC is a most fabulous place to live. I am hoping to be able to visit a few of these places this summer with the family. Happy exploring!

You would be the most fun enrichment leader! Your ward, and Wardlings are lucky to have such a creative, fun leader! We are doing kind of a fun thing. It's called a Service Auction. Have you heard of them? Email me and let me know if you want to hear more.
