Blowing Rock

After we left Grandfather Mountain we went to a little town called Blowing Rock.  First, we ate at a little pub right next to an ice cream shop. (The air was filled with the smell of waffle cones).

 Then, we enjoyed looking at the beautiful flowers.

There were several cute shops filled with homemade items like jewelry or pottery. One that caught my eye was the candle shop. There was a women showing how they were made and it was pretty interesting.

Here are a couple of examples of what they might look like when they are finished.

 Pretty funky huh?

 It was such a neat little town and a nice way to end our day!
