Thinking about my next trip

It is spring here at home and we are having a constant stream of storms. The ground is pretty saturated and it just keeps raining. As I write this, I can hear the thunder rolling in again. For now I'm content to just sit at home and enjoy the greening of the earth, but I know that soon my wanderlust will strike again. With that in mind I am starting to plan my next trip. I'm thinking of maybe going to Western North Carolina. It is beautiful in the Blue Ridge Mountains at this time of year, and I have roots there. When I visit those hills, I feel a connection to them. The highways and byways of North Carolina are littered with my relatives and the graves of my ancestors. It is calling to me.
