North Carolina: Redux

The Mister and I took a quick jaunt to North Carolina to see his sister, brother-in-law, and nieces. As a bonus, I got to see my Mom again. Our original plan was to take the fam to WDW. We had to postpone that to trip until next year. I thought it was important to keep our date and use it for a visit!



We stayed at the Augustus T. Zevely Inn in Old Salem. It was lovely! They had a great breakfast and were right across the street from the Old Salem Tavern. Saturday was our day to wander around Old Salem.

Since we were in the off-season, not every building was open. Still, we really enjoyed ourselves! The day flew right by! We hit all the shops and stops that were available. Our last stop was C. Winkler's bakery! They sell the most amazing cookies! Paper thin and packed with flavor. I took home FOUR cans off cookies! The BIG thing they're famous for is the freshly baked Sugar Cake! They were completely sold-out of it on Saturday so, Jeff and I hit them up on Tuesday before we headed home. Oh.My.GOD! I fell deeply in covet with this cake! They sell the recipe in the bakery and you better believe I purchased it to try to make it at home!
