Soda Art in NC

Lots of soft drink art in Troutman, NC. Pepsi had  a really nice big mural covering the side of a building.

Across the street was Coca-Cola & Dr Pepper.

Google was looking at the treat I was holding instead of the camera. Makes sense. My bad!

Heading to Shenandoah National Park

We stopped in Front Royal, VA on our way to Shenandoah National Park. Google thought if he posed on this bench at C & C Frozen Treats, he'd get some ice cream.

 I love this pic of Mary & Google.

We have arrived for our big family camping trip ... 20 adults, 10 kids & 2 dogs!

Quinn & Lily help set up the tents.

Frank, Callie, Google, Sam, Jamie & Benny at the first campfire.

Kevin played his guitar by the campfire tonight. It was great!

Visiting Wendy & Andy's House

Ashley & Mason were kissing on the window bench in the kitchen.

JoJo was relaxing under the barstools in the kitchen.

 The blanket I made after our trip to Avignon was spread out on the loveseat.

Beautiful backyard.

Great spot for our Embassy!

I love the neon at the Modern Snack Bar in Aquebogue, NY!
