Gems Are a Funny One’s Best Friend

Hello Funny One here. Today’s state is North Carolina. In the pic, I am visiting The Gem Mountain. The great thing is that all the gems you find, you keep! Andie McDowell even mined there. There’s also the Emerald village, where you can take the underground tour of the historic Bon Ami Mine. You will learn all about the history of mining in the area, see the splashing Bon Ami Waterfall, and marvel at world-class collections of old mining and historical equipment. What a gem!

What about places to eat? There’s the Bentley’s on 27 where it has “magnificent panoramic skyline views and impeccable Service.” The Twisted Fork Restaurant and Bakery is a friendly restaurant that celebrates playing with food. It’s your plate so you should have it any way you like it. You can play with the possibilities and get the exact gourmet meal you want. I want a gooey caramel fudge brownie. Yummy!

The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences is the biggest museum of its kind in the Southeast. The exhibits, programs and field experiences will provide you with opportunities to get up close and personal with science and nature. There are even giant whale skeletons that hang overhead in Coastal North Carolina. Cool! Whale-y good!

The Carolinas Aviation Museum has exhibits that are informative and educational. Follow aviation from its fascinating and interesting beginning to the most recent displays from Flight 1549 on the Hudson. Gonna fly now!!!!

Korner’s Folly has been dubbed “The Strangest House in America” Take a tour of this interesting house. There’s also a gift shop, too.
