Looking for a fun day trip, we decided to move towards New Bern, NC. Unfortunately, Jon & Micah were unable to go with us so we left them behind when we piled in the car at around 9:00 a.m. Shortly after we had gotten on the road, Jen HAD to go to the bathroom. We stopped at a little gas station for her to run in. We all got drinks & got back in the car. I got a cute little PEPSI bottle (as seen in the slideshow). We were moving right along when we had to stop once again. Amused greatly by the RightWay sign, we took a picture in front of it as Jen went in to see if they had any t-shirts with the logo. She had been wanting one for years but had never found one in her size. She struck out again, no such luck. After our 2 stops, we finally made it to New Berg. We bought our trolley tickets & within a short time, were seated & rolling around the town seeing beautiful old houses & learning the history behind the homes & the town. I have always enjoyed seeing old homes but the trolley tour was nice because it allowed us to know when the homes were built, who lived there & much more. During the tour, we all got off 3 times to see a bit more. We were able to visit the cemetery where many of the New Berg residents were buried & hear about their roots. We also were allowed to go into the old school. While we could have just walked around the town ourselves & admired the houses, the trolley tour was without a doubt the way to see it all (unfortunately, we never did take a picture of the trolley!)
