After dropping Rick at the airport, JoAnne and Ralph motored to New Bern where they stayed at the Springhill Suites by Marriott. Pepsi Cola was invented in New Bern by a druggist and soda fountain operator. It also served as the first capital of North Carolina. The beautiful Tryon Palace was the home of the Governor. They chartered a boat and for two hours, cruised the two rivers that meet at New Bern. The "house" on the river belongs to author, Nicholas Sparks. The bird on the post is an Osprey. They ate some excellent food and are now planning their next mini vacation.
