Altitude Affects Attitude

After the birthday weekend, Mimi & PawPaw offered to stay longer so Wayne & I could go on a little vacation. While we dreamed of more far flung adventures, we kept it within a 2 hour radius and visited lovely Asheville, NC, for 2 nights. We had a little guilt for missing Miles's actual birthday on Monday but got over that. We stayed at the Richmond Hill Inn which was not far from downtown, so much of our time was spent strolling that area, finding some fantastic food and doing a little shopping. We ate at My Father's Pizza in Black Mountain, Thai Basil, The Laughing Seed & Salsa downtown. Wayne's favorite had to be Luella's BBQ. One of his high school classmates owns it, but unfortunately she wasn't there when we stopped by. The 'que was fantastic, but my fave was their hush puppies side dish. I got more for dessert!

The next photos are of the porch of our cottage and the gardens of the main building at Richmond Hill Inn.


Neither of us had been to the Biltmore, so that was the main stop. We toured the amazing "house" and gardens, and visited their winery. Here is some of the beautiful scenery.




It was a relaxing break, thanks Mimi & PawPaw!
