Even though it was cloudy and cold, Perrin wanted to visit the Blue Ridge Parkway and a few other sights town before she left.
She learned a lot about the Parkway on her trip, and she especially liked this sign. She felt like it was made just for her!
She enjoyed getting stamps in her Passport book and helping us build a wooden arch at the Visitor's Center. "It stayed up! Hurray!"
Then we went to see all of the handmade goodness at the Folk Art Center, which is located on the Parkway.
As usual, Perrin made some new friends. She was not even frightened of the big bear. She spent a lot of time talking to him and stroking his soft fur.
On the way home we stopped by the Grove Park Inn, which is where President Obama stays when he is in town (as did Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and many other famous people). We tried to take in the view from the balcony, but it was a cloudy, overcast day.
So we settled on relaxing for a little while by the teeny, tiny fireplace.
Soon it was time for Perrin to head on to the next stop on her voyage. The kids posed for one last picture with her as we got her ready to go. We were sad to see Perrin leave, but she is such a sweet, fun girl and we loved having her here. Bon Voyage dear Perrin. Enjoy the warmth and sunshine at your next visiting place!
