Exploring North Carolina with KathieyV

I have been to the  Cotton House  in Cary twice.  Once on a food truck night with Erica and Josh and another time with a friend. Their primary focus is beer but luckily for me, they have wine too, happy day. The venue is a historic home built in 1900. There is plenty of seating, both inside and out. I tried to find some information on this piece of sculpture, but I could not.  It is beautiful and extremely detailed.  I did see an old photo of the house, and it had a tall stump of a tree in the yard.  So I will assume that someone made a lovely carving out of the stump. Food Trucks and Mayton Inn The first time I visited the Cotton House, it was on an evening they had a food truck.   The truck for the evening was  The Humble Pig .  I ordered a BBQ plate, and it was delicious.  They also partner with the  Mayton Inn  that is right beside them.  You can place an order with the Inn, and they will brin...

It was a beautiful winter day.  A perfect day for a stroll in downtown Cary NC. View from the  Downtown Park .  The  Cary Arts Center .  There is a lot going on at the Arts Center from shows to classes.  Check out their  events calendar .  I love the  Mayton Inn  in downtown Cary.  I have been many times.  I have not stayed at the Inn, but I hear that the rooms are lovely.  I have been for lunch at the  Verandah , I have taken a  Skillpop  class held in one of their meeting rooms, and enjoyed a Christmas Market held at the Inn. Downtown Cary Sculptures... Churches... I was excited to find a mural...  Not sure what this is but it is interesting:-) I will leave you with good advice I found on my walk around town.   We should all be doing this. Get out and explore.  If you ever near downtown Cary I suggest you take a stroll. Happy Travels!...

As you know, I love murals.  I found this one on South Academy Street in Cary North Carolina.  I searched and searched to find the history behind this painting, but I had no luck.  In lieu of the history of the mural, I will give you a couple of historical notes from Wikipedia  "In 1750, Cary began as a settlement called Bradford's Ordinary. Allison Francis "Frank" Page is credited with founding the town.  Page was a Wake County farmer and lumberman." Happy Travels! KathieyV
