A Visit to Union Point Park in New Bern North Carolina

-


I discovered a lovely park during my trip to New Bern, North Carolina.  The Union Point Park.  It is on the water, which is where I love to be. Below are a few of my photos along with quotes from Union Point Park websites.
"Popular park along the Neuse & Trent Rivers featuring play equipment, 
a large gazebo & a boardwalk."

I liked the baby bear sculptures.  I know my grandkids would have loved to climb all over them.
 "Union Point Park, which is a scenic six-acre site located at the point of the Neuse and Trent Rivers in historic downtown. The Gazebo – often used for weddings, festivals, and other special events – offers a magnificent and breathtaking view of the waterfront. Enjoy picnics, strolls along the river, a walkway that bridges the Union Point to Bicentennial Park, two boat launches, restroom facilities, picnic tables, a fishing pier, grills, and a small playground"
What a perfect day.  A boat on the water, a dog, and a cell phone:-)
 There is nothing more relaxing than sitting on a bench facing the water with the feel of the cool breeze on your skin.  All your worries seem to fade away in moments like this.
  A beautiful walk along the river.
They have a nice gazebo on the water.  I am sure it can be used for events.




If you find yourself in New Bern check out Union Point Park.  
I would love to go back and sit by the water.
Next time I will stay longer and take a picnic lunch.
Happy Travels and Adventures!

I guess if I am going on a picnic I need a picnic basket.

Interesting NC Tidbits...The Town of Buffalo NC is at the Bottom of Lake Lure.

A few weeks ago I took a trip to beautiful Lake Lure located in my state of NC.  Little did I know that there was a town called Buffalo under the Lake Lure waters.   I met a lady at a local restaurant that told me the town remains as it was, completely preserved under the water, an underwater ghost town.  On the Lake Lure pontoon boat adventure I took, I was told that Buffalo was burned to the ground just prior to the flooding. I went online to see what facts I could find about the town of Buffalo. Buffalo was a farming and mining community.  The population was approximately 150 people.  There was a church called Whiteside Valley Church of 1918 that had about 98 members.   The dam was built to generate electricity in the early 1900's, and just after the completion of the dam the town was flooded.    From what I could find online much of the town was torn down and relocated as were parts of the church.  The graves in the small graveyard were relocated as well.  You can r

One thing I love about travel is trying new restaurants.  Cindy and I found ourselves on an adventure in the Mooresville NC area near Lake Norman.  There is nothing like enjoying a meal by the water and when we read that Eddie's was on the water we decided to give it a try.  Off we went... Eddie's on Lake Norman Here is a quote from their website. "Eddie Lubic and Ann-Margaret Wagner bring their hospitality and restaurant expertise  from New York to the shores of Lake Norman."  View from our outdoor seating... Sadly it did not get the best reviews on Z omato , but for the view and casual dinning I would go back. The staff was friendly and service was good. Plenty of room outdoors and in.  Indoor seating  A bit of wine:-)   "Eddie and Ann-Margaret's mission is always to provide the freshest seafood, prime meats, produce, pasta, and bread every meal."  Eddie's We enjoyed our veggie and cheese platter along with
