Traveling to North Carolina - Day 5-8(Monterey, Tenn to Durham, North Carolina)

Traveling from East Tennessee to Durham, North Carolina was the easy part of the last four days….once we arrived in Durham is when the chaos happened…let’s start with the good stuff

THE GOOD
1.Eastern Tennessee was some of the most beautiful country we have seen on this trip…multiple rivers and lakes and the weather was perfect…I imagine the winters are brutal but driving through the Great Smoky Mountains was pretty majestic…

Lodge Cast Iron Outlet
2. We found their outlet in Pigeon Forge, Tenn…could have spent a fortune there but spent wisely and got the small iron skillets I have been looking for…seriously wanted to a buy their wok!!!

Durham Bulls
3.  Went to a minor league baseball game to see the Durham Bulls vs Louisville Bats…great ballpark, great seats and the minor league game moves at a quick pace…beer and peanuts; what more do you need?

The Foster Apartment
4. We finally found an apartment for Keegan…her original apartment was suppose to be ready June 15; then July 1 and then July 15…so we had to call an audible…found her a new place in downtown Durham near the Old Durham Bulls Athletic Park and the weekly  Farmers Market…we move in tomorrow…

THE BAD
1. Car shopping sucks…we did buy a used car for Keegan to use while she is out here in NC…there is a noise coming from the front end so hopefully it is nothing major and it will get fixed fairly quick…

THE UGLY
Extended Stay hotels in NC are DIFFERENT than the ones I have experienced on the west coast…our first extended cancelled on us 3 hours before we arrived…the second Extended Stay was full of people who have a “different” lifestyle than what we are accustomed for…after 10 mins; we made an executive decision to move to another place…found a last minute Airbnb that solved our problem…

Tomorrow is move in day!!!!
