Travel North Carolina-My Visit to Tryon Palace in New Bern NC

Things to see and do in New Bern NC
Travel with me to Tryon Palace in New Bern NC.

I was so excited to be in New Bern, NC.  First on my list of places to see, Tryon Palace.  


Here is a quote from their website...Royal Governor William Tryon and his family brought architect John Hawks from London to design and build the Georgian-style structure.  Completed in 1770, Tryon Palace served as the first permanent capitol of North Carolina and home to the Tryon family.  In 1798, fire destroyed the original Palace building.  An extensive 30-year campaign to rebuild the Palace and restore the grounds was launched by the people of New Bern, state leaders, world craftsmen, and generous, dedicated citizens such as Mrs. James Edwin Latham.  Their efforts led to the triumphal reopening of the Palace in 1959. 
The palace architectural style was described to me as Georgian.  
I was told the interior decor was the same.


I asked what the filler was for the mattresses.  The answer was feathers.  When the weather was hot, and the feathers became too warm, they could be replaced with straw for a cooler night's sleep.  
There are 16 acres of gardens and green space.
I had a lovely visit.
If you find yourself in New Bern, NC, I suggest checking out Tryon Palace.
Happy Travels and Adventures!

I am so glad...fall is nearly here.  It has been a sweltering and humid summer, and yes, it is still that way today, but now that we have hit September, there is hope.   I love fall and winter weather and fall and winter fashion.  With that in mind, I have selected the September outfit I want to recreate.  I found the outfit on Pinterest.  I went to Amazon to see if I could recreate the look and will go into my closet to see if I can come close to creating the outfit.  What is nice about this look is that if it gets too hot outside, you can easily remove the sweater. Here is what I found... 1 -Levi's Women's 314 Shaping Straight Jeans 2- Fossil Women's Jolie Leather Crossbody Purse Handbag for Women 3- Peugeot Women's 14K Gold Plated Tank Leather Dress Watch with Roman Numerals Dial 4- Vepose Women's Ankle Boots Low Heels Chunky Cutout Booties+Perforated Western Shoes 5 -Canaria Italian 10kt Yellow Gold Diamond-Cut Dome Stud Earrings 6- Elesomo Womens Tops Short/Lon

History The Teddy bear, affectionally called a Teddie, was invented in the early 20th century in Germany. The Teddy Bear is named after Theodore Roosevelt, also known as Teddy Roosevelt. No one knows the origin of the Teddy Bear Picnic, but there are a couple of thoughts.  One is that in the 1920s, a social worker felt bad for orphaned children and was trying to improve their lives by hosting this picnic. Another thought about the origin is that it is based on a book called The Teddy Bear Picnic, w
