TRIP TO THE NC ARBORETUM

INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF ASTRONOMY
We love stargazing here at the Inn on Mill Creek because it’s so easy to do with very little light pollution. So, we’re very excited to note that 2009 — marking the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s use of the telescope (above) to study the skies — has been designated by the United Nations as the International Year of Astronomy. (Thanks to Mark and Eileen for sharing with us an article from BLDGBLOG about Galloway Forest Park in Scotland announcing its plans to become Europe’s first “dark sky park.” What a great idea!)
THE LATEST AT CHIMNEY ROCK
Our friends at Chimney Rock Park have planned out an excellent schedule of guided hikes and other events at the Park for 2009, starting this month.
WALKING LABYRINTHS
Last year, we began researching walking labyrinths after reading an article about one of the most well-known labyrinths in the world, the Chartres Labyrinth. We’re hoping to make our dream of installing a walking labyrinth at the Inn on Mill Creek a reality this year.
