De-Coy Roy on Our Vacay Away

Thought I would put a few pictures of Roy on vacation on the blog. These are so out of order and for some reason Blogger won't let me move them around. Oh well.

We ate at the Courtyard Market twice, I think Roy ate there three times. I loved their all beef hot dog served North Carolina style. They put cole slaw on it. Didn't sound so appetizing at first but we really liked the hot dog that way.
This is Roy on the Veranda. It is one of our favorite places to eat on the Biltmore Estate. Very casual, wicker rocking chairs, and a beautiful view. Also sometimes really good people watching is included.

Cowboy Roy coming in from a hard hour's trail ride. His horse, Roman, wanted to graze a whole bunch.

The people at the Inn were so wrong on their time mapping. They had us catch too early of a shuttle to make it to the barn. So we took pictures, played with a cat named Bamalama and spent some up close and personal time with horses we weren't riding. Not a bad way at all to kill time. The only thing bad about horseback riding at Biltmore? They weigh you beforehand. It was more personal than at the Dr office. Usually the scales are in the middle of the office with tons of people around and the nurse, who must think we are all deaf, yells out the corresponding number.

Here we are on the Blue Ridge Highway....from Hell. Well, maybe not so much Hell except that a portion of it was closed so we had to exit off onto some windy, curving, squiggly line sign road that was only 17 miles away from the nearest city. That was some of the longest 17 scary miles ever! It took a lot of time to do and it was so frustrating because it was taking precious time away from being on the Biltmore Estate.

This cow lives in Maggy Valley. She is right outside the Internet Coffee Cafe which was really more an ice cream parlor than anything.

We are somewhere on Highway 64/74. So beautiful. Last year when we came this way the water was very low because of drought conditions. Think the drought is over in this area.

This picture was taken in Bryson City. Great little Italian place, cute shops and railroad junk that Roy really enjoyed.

This is Roy taking pictures with his new camera that he got for his trip to France. He already knew by this time, he wants a faster camera. So, he has been in the process of researching what he wants. I will inherit this Canon camera whenever he finds his dream camera.
