Our Trip to Asheville

We took advantage of the MLK holiday weekend to travel up to Asheville, NC. We were joined by our friends, the Hairs, and we had a great time!


It was cold while we were there, but we took advantage of some of the interesting things Asheville has to offer (neat shops, restaurants) to beat the cold. Obviously, the kids can find most any odd thing interesting and entertaining.

We discovered this cool bus that had been converted into a coffee shop.

The kids loved hanging out on the bus and drinking hot chocolate.

We just had to visit the Biltmore Estate while we were in Asheville. On the shuttle bus to Biltmore, Dylan and Adam are just happy to be out of the cold!

It's big. Really big.

You can see our group in the distance with just a portion of the house showing.

This is a side view of the house.

We also toured the vineyards and winery. (Scott, Jill, and Tony)


Of all things, the kids wanted ice cream. And they even sat outside to eat it!


We visited the stables, as well. Isaac's never met a tractor he didn't like.

We plan to go back to check out the gardens and walking trails in a few months when it's warmer. Hopefully, A LOT warmer!
