2017 SE Motorhome Trip (Concord NC) con't

March 30
Today we did not get in a hurry, had a light breakfast, Iris cleaned house and we got ourselves ready for the day.  We arrived at the "Smoke Pit" about 11:30 and the parking lot was already almost full.  Inside the line to order was almost out the door so we joined in and ultimately got our order in - 3 meats (ribs, brisket & pulled pork), sweet potato casserole, fried okra and cornbread.  Three kinds of sauce on each table, we mixed two and tore into the meat.  It was outstanding.  We had one order, we both ate from it and brought home at least as much as we ate.  NC is famous for its BBQ, not the same as Texas but loved it anyway.  From the "Pit" we drive to the downtown of Concord, parked on the street, walked to the old courthouse

and picked up a booklet for self-guided walking tour of historic Concord.  There were wonderful big houses along Union Street built in the late 1800's and early 1900's.  We walked several blocks to be able to stop and admire each one.  Some of our favorites were:

The flowers and trees were almost as good as the houses so we admired the plantings along the way:

Arrived back at the motorhome in time for a nap, happy hour, TV, and bed.
