The father of the groom wasn’t lying when he promised good barbecue at the rehearsal dinner. A local restaurant called Hog Wild catered the meal and it was some of the best pulled pork BBQ I’ve ever had. Maybe I was just hungry from the long drive over the mountains, but the next time you venture to North Carolina, I highly recommend it.

After dinner we discovered the Fun Factory next door to our motel. The kids enjoyed it thoroughly. Their father was crowned putt-putt champion (okay, it was a tie, but the other victor was disqualified for getting everyone lost [again] on the way to the church).
