It had been a while since we went roaming up on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  In fact, it's usually closed in the winter because of icy roads.  But it's been so warm this winter that we were able to get up to Craggy Gardens and Craggy Pinnacle just before New Years.  Totally worth it, and highly recommend.
