Last-Minute Weekend Getaway: Mother Earth Motor Lodge in Kinston
It’s almost time to head back to school so I thought I would switch things up a little bit this week. Before I get to this weekend’s events in Raleigh, head with me to Kinston! Last weekend, I did the short 1.5-hour drive to Mother Earth Motor Lodge for a one-night stay and a stop at Lions Water Adventure. It was so much fun for the whole family. If you are trying to squeeze in one more trip before school, I highly recommend Kinston.
