Our Honeymoon

For our honeymoon we decided to go to the mountains of Asheville North Carolina and rent a cabin. We were able to take Maggie with us and we didn't have to worry about trying to board her or have somebody watch her. The cabin we rented was perfect. It had 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, gas fireplace and hot tub. We made use of the hot tub a couple of the nights.

Asheville is a town that lives by the concept of farm to the table.  We were able to eat a couple if different places where they get their food from local farmers from around the area.  One is Early Girl Eatery.  We ate there three different times.  It was so good.  So good in fact that I decided to get a souvenir to bring back.  The other one was Tupelo Honey Cafe we didn't discover until the last night we were there.  If we would have found them earlier in the week, we would've eaten more.

Since we were in Asheville we decided to go to the Biltmore Estate.  I believe it is called America's Castle and I can see why.  That place was amazing.  We spent two days there.  One day going to the house and grounds and the next at the farm.  I do not have any pictures from inside the house because pictures instead the house is not allowed.  I do have plenty of pictures of the outside of the house and gardens.

We also took a day to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway.  It was beautiful.  The leaves were just starting to turn.  We were able to stop along the way and get out to take in the sights.  During the drive we decided to go to Mt. Mitchell.  It is the tallest peak easy of the Mississippi River.  One thing that we didn't realize when we decide to go was that fact that it was cold and windy.  But the view and the smell of the pines were worth it.
