Little Bitty Life: I Miss Mayberry

Today's guest post is by a friend of mine, Lauren. Last summer we spontaneously went on a few wild road trips and below she shares a few details of one.

Hello, everyone! It’s Lauren, checking in for my first blog/guest post EVER! You may remember me from a few posts back:

(Yup, that’s me)

I was given free range to share whatever I wanted, as long as I follow one rule: INCLUDE PICTURES! Well lucky for me, I just so happen to have a bunch of pictures tucked away that are dying to be seen! And, due to recent events, the timing couldn’t be better…

1) Barney

2) Rascal Flatts

Stumped? Yeah, I was, too.

That’s right, we were in the hometown of the legendary Andy Griffith and filming location of the Andy Griffith Show. So, it was only necessary for Cyn and I to take our adventure on foot. From here, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves:
