Days Like These

The Hampton Inn in Eden, NC has many a memory for me in the last 2-3 years. The staff is always overly friendly and the breakfast is pretty darn good. It being the best option by far—considering some of the other “hotel/motels” offer amenities that include your drug of choice and some people of the—umm—how do I say red light variety? (and I don’t mean “stop”) at any given time of the day—except maybe Sunday—hey the phrase sweating like a whore in church had to come from somewhere—and churches there are a plenty—I digress. After spending a couple hours with my Grandma Jewel, an amazing woman who I couldn’t possibly love more, we headed north crossing into VA after only about 10 minutes. Here we started our “No Negative Wyoming” comments rule, in order to try and put a positive spin on our trip. The Virginia mountains are among some of the most beautiful landscapes in America—at least of the America I’ve seen!

 A quick stop at Lover’s Leap
and we were off again—Jetta in tow. Erich Church and Jason Aldean provided the musical back drop for the Appalachian Mountains. 

“Turn it up a little bit louder,
 Turn it up, I love this song,
Come on girl, the world is ours,
Lets do somethin’ right or wrong,
Life is short, lets go live,
 Ain’t no time for wasting time.
 Days like these, they go by way too fast.
Yeah, days like these, you wanna make ‘em last

Rest your feet up on the dash.

Leave your toe prints on the glass.

Sing it like you mean it, baby.

Close your eyes and lay your head on back…… “
 ~Jason Aldean “Days Like These”
