Yesterday, in an effort to break up the post-Thanksgiving drive, we stopped at Crowders Mountain State Park in North Carolina. The 2-mile hike to the top of King's Pinnacle was a great bit of fresh air, and the view was worth the effort.

The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart is a 108-year-old church in the heart of VCU's campus is richmond, VA. The sun was just setting yesterday and lit up the dome, so I pulled over on my bike and snapped a photo.

When we got to the metro station, the sign said: [destination]: 1 min [destination]: 11 mins Of course, the credit card machine decided it needed three tries to read my card, so 11 mins it was. At least it gave me the opportunity to take this picture!

It was an extremely foggy morning yesterday as we started our drive north. Fortunately, we weren't slowed down much, but driving in this fog was eerie!
