Jason and I had both been to Tryon Palace as kids, and neither of us were yearning to return. We walked over there late Saturday afternoon and took some photos in gardens outside Tryon's gates.
February or not, spring was all around!
We walked by Tryon Palace around 4:00 and the ticket guy asked us if we would like to go in and tour the grounds (not the building). It was the end of the day (they close at 5:00), so he let us go in for free!
Little bit of history about Tryon Palace:
Tryon Palace is a modern reconstruction of the historical colonial royal governors' palace of the Province of North Carolina. The first mansion was built in the 1760s, but burned down in 1798. It was reconstructed in the 1950s.
