My Poor Feet

As I mentioned a couple of entries ago, Fall has definitely arrived in North Carolina and I couldn't be happier to have it. I'm also grateful to live in an area of the country where we still have leaves that change colors. Usually we take a day or weekend to head to the western end of NC to enjoy the foliage but it's looking unlikely this year.

Instead, we took advantage of the beautiful weather yesterday (75° and sunny) and walked five miles along the American Tobacco Trail. It was a nice walk and we enjoyed the scenery.

However, someone really needs to remind me that Skechers may be cute shoes but they are not good walking shoes. Not for that distance, anyways. My feet are badly blistered today and it's my own fault.

Still, it was worth it. Even if we don't get to make our annual trip to the mountains, we were still able to enjoy some lovely scenery.

Saturday, by the way, we made it to our first Carolina Hurricanes game of the season. The team lost but it was still fun. And again, since the weather was fabulous, we were able to tailgate before the game!
