Sledding at North Carolina Museum of Art

I bought a sled two years ago, shortly after I moved here from Hilton Head Island. Forecasts were calling for snow, and since I hadn’t seen any in a while, I wanted to be prepared with a sled. Two years later, I finally had a chance to use it. Daniel braved the slick roads Saturday afternoon and drove me to the hills of the North Carolina Museum of Art. We weren’t the only ones sliding down the hill beside the Vollis Simpson whirligig. A few other families (and even a dog) were hanging...
