We decided to take a long holiday weekend and go to Raleigh, where Kent grew up, and then stop in Asheville. It was a long and somewhat boring drive. Thankfully the traffic was mostly light except for a brief traffic congestion in West Virginia. The area around Charleston, West Virginia reminded me slightly of the Cincinnati area with its many bridges. The gold dome on its capital was eye-catching compared to many others we saw.
Kent had been content to just stop at the visitors center near Tamarack, outside of Charleston, to use the facility and get some refreshment. I on the other hand was curious to check out the center and, smart man that he is, he did not stand in my way of a potential shopping experience. Tamarack reminded me of a larger version of the Berea Artisan Center. There were even working artists making their wares in the facility.
We arrived in Raleigh late that night and very tired.
