A Look Down Market Street

Market Street . Roanoke

That's the Historic City Market to the right...not a lot going on at the moment...a lot of vendors were already closing down for the day. This is the oldest market of its kind in Virginia, running continuously since 1882! Spring and summer are my favorite times of the year for the market. And speaking of spring...

Today I am thankful for spring like temperatures! This has really been a mild winter so far with only that one real snow we got a couple of weeks ago...our temps have been in the upper 50's and 60's and I am enjoying it! Saturday is supposed to be another nice day and since the boys don't have a track meet this week I suggested to Nick that we take a little road trip!

This week I'm going to take you around Raleigh, NC:

1)

North Carolina State University Wolfpack...these were pretty awesome! For more info on the sculptures CLICK HERE

2)

Raleigh Flea Market @ the State Fair Grounds
It was really, really, really cold and windy. We didn't stay too long. Nick ended up with a face mask and ear muffs for running.

3)

Moore Square
Raleigh is known as The City of Oaks, so how about celebrating with a ginormous acorn?! For more on the acorn CLICK HERE

4)

City Market Building taken from 2 different sides. For the history on the City Market CLICK HERE

5)

These guys were preaching something. We were stopped at a light across the street and could hear them shouting so I snapped a quick pic as we drove by!

That's my 5 this week and I hope you will join in! Post 5 random things and link back, visit others, have fun! That's it!
