Tryon Palace was the home of the first capitol of North Carolina as well as the Governor's Mansion. Before we entered in to the luxurious kingdom, we smiled for the camera outdoors. Like most historic sites, we were instructed that the use of cameras within the building was prohibited. Someone (won't mention any names...her name does start with a "H", end with a "Y" & has an "A-L-E" in the middle though), snuck a few photos though. Sadly, those few did not turn out well. Could that be that it was punishment for doing something she should not have? I think it's a possibility. Anyway, back to the lil' shack....we enjoyed looking at the 18th Century Furniture as well as hearing about what a day would have been like back then. In addition to touring the palace, we also toured 2 other homes--one of which housed an imprisoned Confederate spy during the Civil War. With our tour, we were also able to tour the garden outdoors. Though the heat had killed the majority of the flowers, the garden was still pretty. As you can see, we had ourselves a grand time.
