After a another very long and traffic filled travel day we arrived in Lake Gaston North Carolina. Our good friends greeted us with big hugs and dinner. I don’t think I have seen Lou in over 25 years, and it was a pleasure to finally meet Maria.

Their house on the Lake is stunning! Our breakfast and coffee were served with a side of Lake view! Really amazing.

Lou and Maria took us on a tour of an award winning Whiskey and bourbon distillery, followed by a tasting 😜 They even made me my favorite old fashion.

Our evening was topped off with another great dinner out. Everything was delicious. Thank you to our most excellent hosts, Lou, Maria and their pups.

Btw that’s Peggy and Lou all bundled up boating in 30 degree weather in the photo.Read more
