My wife and I were heading to a couple of events in Morganton (a memorial service) and Linville (a wedding), NC on Labor Day weekend. We have family in Roanoke, VA, and we had some spare time after the wedding, so we decided to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, which runs by Linville, and on our return trip to stop by Roanoke for a visit afterwards.
