For those who are in Winston-Salem Wednesday, if anyone wants to meet up for dinner, let me know.  

I have been to the area 5 years now and never did any exploring of the area, so I plan to take in some of the country Wednesday.  Any suggestions for what to see will be appreciated.  I am not a shop-acoholic so malls are not high on my priority list.

The Biltmore, mansion and winery are a good way to kill at least a full day.

We hit some caverns driving from The Biltmore to Winston Salem, but don't remember what they are called.  Maybe 30-60 minutes east of the Biltmore.

I haven't been to Blowing Rock, but it's supposed to be nice.

Kat and I will be there barring any catastrophic event such as complete destruction of the western hemisphere due to a nuclear holocaust.  Even then, we may only be a little late

We'll likely arrive early afternoon on Friday unless something changes (Ron - please check your email).

I've invited my brothers and nephews to attend as well, but they're always a crap shoot at best.

Thanks for the advise and links.   Graaille, it will take me a bit to get through all the links and find the places I will visit.  What I don't visit this time, may go on a list for next year.

j-
I guess that means I'll be seeing you and Kat soon and I must say that is some determination.  Just a little late if there is a

Darn. Wish I could join you all. Sounds like a lot a folk I'd love to meet.

Unfortunately, it's just not in the financial cards these days. Between the trip to Albuquerque for Nationals and the trip to Las vegas for our 40th wedding anniversary in August, there goes all our travelling funds.

Have fun, y'all! wish you all the best.

I'll almost guarantee there will be a next year, and next year, and with any luck many many more next years.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th year it is around this same time of year.  The 1st one was in March, 2nd Memorial Day Weekend, and then we moved it to summer, after school lets out for me.

Kind of sounds like a musical group from the 60s - WillynHook & The Chaos Twins

It will be good to see you again and meeting the twins!

Put me on the list.  I'll be able to come up from Columbia Saturday.  Am working on my brother and a league team-mate.

Looking forward to see everybody again.
