Welcome, N.C.

It poured all night so we didn't stop at the dog park, it would have been a mud pit.  We left Ashville and headed for Welcome, N.C.  There were a ton of these trees, I'm not sure what they are but it seemed so nice to see blooming trees.

Don wanted to go to RCR, Richard Childress Racing Museum.  He used to race but now he's an owner.  Dale Earnhart used to drive for him.  He now has Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton and Clint Bowyer.

They had many of Dale Earnhart's cars.

This is the car Kevin Harvick won at Daytona a couple years ago with.

This was one of Jeff Burton's cars.

Here's Don with the tractor trailor Dale Earnhart used.  You should see the inside, wonderful workshop.  And the car rides in a section over the shop.

I didn't realize that Brooks and Dunn drove Legends cars.

Richard Childress is also an avid hunter and an advocate on saving the wilderness.  He had a great wild life exhibit.

We then went to Greensboro to visit Kevin Harvick's shop.  Don was able to see the inside from a distance.  We then went looking for a quilt shop and found this one in my trusty "Quilters' Travel Companion" and I got my North Carolina fabric.

Then we crossed into Virginia.
