We started out yesterday morning headed to New Bern, NC which was the original capital of North Carolina as a colony. We saw a sign for a Country Doctor's Museum on the way, and decided to stop in. It is a very short trip from Raleigh, so we did not stay long but will be back another time to enjoy it more. When we got to New Bern we spent most of the day touring Tryon Palace, which was the seat of government and home of the original NC governor. It reminded us a lot of Williamsburg, VA just not as busy!
They have a ton of gardens which I am sure are spectacular in the Spring!
This weekend has been so cold, it was 16 degrees when we started our trip. All the fountains in the gardens were frozen.
After we checked into our bed and breakfast, we walked around downtown a bit to see the shops. We ate dinner at Morgan's Tavern and Grill! Who knew we had a restaurant named for us?
Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa, we know Luke and Ben are having a blast too!
Love,
Jeff and Mer
