Blood, Sweat, and Gears

Joel did a bike race called Blood, Sweat, and Gears in Boone, NC in late June, so it was an excuse for a road to trip to the beautiful Appalachian mountains! Norm and I tagged along and proved to be an excellent cheering section for Joel as he did his 50-miler in the mountains (believe me, watching was MUCH more fun). We made a great weekend out of it, shopping in darling Blowing Rock and trying cute little restaurants. Not only did Norm do great in the 6+ hour car trip, but he LOVED his first hotel stay and was a very well-behaved boy!

The beautiful views.
Norman thought the love seat in our hotel room was his personal bed, even though we brought his crate all the way from home.

Crossing the finish line. Yea Joel! He did great!
