Porcelain and Decorative Arts Museum…read more This museum is really a hidden gem. it's on the same property as the Botanical Gardens and it is incredible. great afternoon place to spend an hour or two seeing some of the most beautiful artwork you will see. some new. some hundreds of years old. this museum is to the left of the gardens and I thought it was an event space.

We opted for the Red Oak and Black Gum Loop…read more This hike was relatively easy, well marked with just a few inclines and gorgeous views along the trail. The highlight was finishing near the tulips at the end of our hike. Gorgeous morning out and perfect location for a spring kick-off in nature.

However, the abandoned- looking aspect of this park is what appeals to me. You will see many locals visiting to do prom, wedding, and cosplay photoshoots at this park. My favorite part is the beautiful pond and the haunted Japanese garden in the back of the park. It is a little difficult to find this garden, but it is hauntingly gorgeous.

SOUTHLAND JUBILEE FESTIVAL…read more The Southland Jubilee Festival in the town of historic Greensboro is now in its nineteenth year. It features arts and craft vendors, entertainment, a classic car show and community service groups and businesses. It was a great way to spend a very comfortable Saturday morning. We arrived early and started with the classic cars. Gorgeous! Oh my gosh, those classics are incredible and it is always nice to speak with the owners and hear the story of their prized possession. Sometimes you go to a festival and you really can't see the town for the festival. However, this was not the case in Greensboro because many of their historic buildings were on full display and prominently featured. For example, the historic jail was open and available for touring while the former school auditorium is now their Festival Hall which held an art display and puppet show. That huge courthouse was at the center of it all because it was not easily missed and was prepared with tables so that we were able to sit, enjoy a cool breeze and great conversation with other attendees. When you visit the downtown shops you immediately notice the brick walls, wooden floors and other cool historic details. This festival had a cute little stage with straw bales for seating. We enjoyed sitting on the bales and watching the young dancers, Sole Momentum. They performed a Philippine folk dance using sticks and an American Folk dance featuring clogging and drumming. They created a very positive and contagious energy which totally engaged the audience. Although there were other performances, we did not see many because we were too busy exploring the town and other elements of the festival. When it came to the food, there were a variety of options from traditional fried options to barbecue options with sides. We decided to go "old school" so we targeted the non-descript tent with a simple white sign. As we looked around, we saw this huge group of people in matching tees, just chilling in chairs and listening to old school R and B while they monitored two huge smokers. This was the food I wanted to eat. I decided to go with the smoked wings because when eating out, I tend to just keep it simple and clean. These wings were delicious, perfectly smoked and seasoned. There were so good that I had to take an additional order to go. Yes! For our special treat, we decided on a large bag of kettlecorn. Although we love kettlecorn, we have not purchased it in a while because it suddenly became too salty for our taste. However, we found a vendor, Blueberry Gardens, who prepared a special bag just for us with no added salt. It was delicious and perfectly seasoned without the added salt. Winning! Thank you Greenboro for hosting such a lovely festival and making us feel so welcomed. We had a very nice time and look forward to seeing you again next year!

Today Tamara Caldwell Dempsey and I visited The Kitchen at Summit Chase…read more The first thing to know is when you walk in you have to go down stairs to get to the dining room. Can you say ADA? Yes the have a back door, but who wants to go into a back door to eat. Secondly, the food was above average, but there were issues. Like the salad had no dressing on it and the Brussel sprouts were way overly salted. (I love Brussel sprouts and these were average at best. The rest of the food was amazing. PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS. THE SERVICE WAS GREAT..

A well maintained course, albeit a boring track…read more This is my second time at Summit Chase. I barely remember the first time and it probably because its not very interesting. The entire process from check in to getting to the first tee is great. It was cordial , speedy and well organized. I was in my cart and talking to the starter, under 5 minutes. No issues with tee time, cart or anything. They definitely have things well organized. The course is well maintained. Some of the best greens around. Fairways are nice, well drained and if you drive one to the middle, you will find the ball sitting nicely. The second cut tho is not so short. Which is OK, as long as you keep it in the fairway. The greens are sweet. Very receptive, and rolls beautifully. Mind you, they are very tricky. I cannot believe how many times, the ball makes an abrupt left or right near the cup. Not their fault, just my laziness to read the green from both ends of the line. Once you read the line properly, its more than fair. Lesson... read the darn line and stop your 3 putts. The track is about 17 holes of back and forth. I cannot remember a dog leg except for one and its a fake one too. Meaning, I could have driven it straight thru and the flag would have been visible. Not much elevation changes, no scary water to cross, .. makes for a very pleasant golf outing, but no risk and reward contemplation in the whole round. I do appreciate the par 5's that land in an area that is flat, then slopes down to the hole. Time to hit the 3 wood off the deck and let it go on and on and on... btw, which I hit twice and so sweet. I would play again just because the green is so darn nice.
