Southern Hospitality

Stuart, FL-Summerfield, NC

Miles; 5840

We left Stuart, FL and drove all day (14 hrs) to Summersfield, NC about 15 minutes outside of Greensboro to visit a dear friend from Millbach, PA, Kaitlyn, her kids & mom Kathy.

After a long day in the car we pulled into their gorgeous NC home and were greeted with open arms and lots of hugs and laughter. There is something very therapeutic about seeing an old friend, even after many years have gone and you can pick up just where you left off like no time has past at all. Kaitlyn is one of those special friends. Addy also made a friend, the family pooch who was a cool and friendly cocker spaniel named Draeger.

In the evening, we ate a wonderful home cooked meal, which is always very much appreciated and chatted into the evening. The next morning the kids were off to school then we took the dogs for a walk in a nearby field, the weather was chilly, but the day was wonderful. Kaitlyn took us out for some local flavor/brunch at a nearby diner. It was such a great visit, but we felt like we blinked and it was time to go already. We said our goodbyes and got back on the road to WV to meet up with the Haags and to do some rock climbing in the New River Gorge. Kaitlyn & family, thank you for everything!
