It’s an event my family has talked about for months…Festival of Bacon! Last year we went to a Bacon Festival in Orlando which was basically bacon cook-off between food trucks. It was pretty awesome.

My husband and I are on our second roadtrip adventure for the year. This time we ditched the kids to attend the wedding of one of my dear friends. The wedding is in the mountains of North Carolina and since we’ve never really Ben to the area, came a day before the wedding to explore.…
