We enjoyed bumming around downtown Asheville. It's a very "artsy" town with lots of little shops, cafe's, & musicians on each street corner. The weather was so nice (60's & sunny) that we were able to eat outside at this this restaurant. (Can you tell I've "grown" into my third trimester!) :)
We stayed in a "villa" in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was basically a fully furnished little "home" with everything we needed. We could have stayed longer had we not missed Brianna so much! :)
Machen enjoying the pretty view from the villa's little deck.
We enjoyed our wood burning fireplace very much!
We couldn't figure out how to get the timer to work on my camera, so we had to make do with just holding the camera out in front of us. A little "cheesy" but oh well. :)
Our second day there we toured the Biltmore...America's largest residential home. It was amazing. Unfortunately it was cold, rainy, & foggy so my pics didn't turn out the greatest. Kind of gives it a spooky look!
They gave us umbrellas while we waited outside in the rain.
Machen enjoyed all the architectural details, while I enjoyed all the decor inside each room.
We had a wonderful time together & were very grateful for a chance to get away! But, we did find it difficult not to talk about Brianna & were very anxious to get back to our little girl. ;) Thanks again Laurie & Rich for making this trip possible for us!
