McAfee Knob

A couple weeks ago, I joined Tim on a work trip out east towards Appalachia country. We had a free day in the Roanoke, VA area (before heading to Charlotte, NC for a couple days) and I said the one thing I wanted to do on the trip was a hike. I have never been […]

Powder Room Mini Makeover
