Planning a day trip seems pretty straight forward. Decide where you want to go, put the family in the car, don’t forget the kids, set the navigation and off you go. Ok, don’t forget some snacks and water. Proper clothing for the event. Maybe throw in an extra sweater. Anything I forgot? Most trips go pretty smoothly and we have taken many fun drives to very memorable places. Unfortunately you can’t always think of everything as this post photo shows. The day we made it to Mount Mitchell the peak was well into the clouds. The four signs facing each of the compass headings depict and label all the mountains you can see in all directions. The only thing we saw was white. Oh well. We’ll be back. We have had many fun excursions and we will continue to have more. Please share your trips with us.
