Summer In New England - Roadtrip 2012 - Day 14

Today we were back down in Kroger country so we stopped at a Kroger near our hotel to get gas using our reward points from before we left. We got gas for an amazingly low $2.53/gallon and headed down to North Carolina. We made a stop at the Circle of Friends Yarn store in Elkin, NC which turned out to be a very cozy place with an owner that handspun and dyed a lot of her work. Katy really enjoyed the shop, and when she was done we went down the road to have lunch at Moe's Southwestern Grill. Just an hour down the road in Charlotte, NC, we went to the last yarn store on the trip at Charlotte Yarn. The owner of that store had gotten out of a fast paced life in finance and opened her own yarn store. Katy bought her last bit of yarn for the trip and we struck out for South Carolina. We drove thorugh the "upstate" part of South Carolina and then entered Georgia. The hotel we stayed at was in Tucker, GA, just outside of Atlanta (where, again, Tucker the bear had to get a picture). The hot tub at the previous night's hotel inspired us to get a hotel with an in-room whirlpool tub (which was free because we used our accumulated hotel points to book it) and lots of cool amenities. We ordered in Chinese and got rested up because we were gearing up to head back to Arkansas the next morning! Here's the pictures!
