We packed up on Friday , June 28 and headed for North Wilkesboro, NC where we camped at the VFW Campground. Our purpose for being there was to attend the National Dance Competition being held in Wilkesboro. Our granddaughter, Sarah, was competing for the Miss Dance title, and her studio was competing in the group dance competitions on Sunday.
We brought Sarah's other grandma, Diane, with us. The cell phones got a workout, as we were worried that we'd miss Sarah's solo number. Whew! got there in time and Sarah did a fantastic solo! The name of her dance was "If I Had a Daughter".
Saturday we drove with Angie, Sarah, Diane, and Donnie to Mt. Airy (Mayberry) and spent several hours shopping. Had a fantastic hamburger at diner there, and before we left I had a chocolate soda and Jack had a strawberry malt. YUM
Saturday night was the awards ceremony, and Sarah was a semi-finalist for the title. Our hearts were in our throats, and untold prayers were being said that she would win. It was down to between Sarah and her friend. Sarah was First Runner-UP and her friend got the title. Sarah received awards for her interview and her solo, a trophy for being a semi-finalist, and a trophy as First Runner UP. MainStreet Dance did well on Sunday, too.
Monday we left for Renfro Valley KY where we stayed until July 3. We ran into very heavy rain on I-75 as soon as we got into KY. Luckily it stopped before we got to the campground. We were exhausted from the trip and from the stress of the competition so enjoyed a beautiful day in the campground on Tuesday. I think we were outside most of the day.
Wednesday we traveled to North Bend, OH where we'll camp until Saturday. Our GPS gave up, so we had to rely on Mapquest. Got into the area but had to call the campground for final steps.
