Last Thursday we drove to Asheville for our anniversary and stayed at a GREAT bed & breakfast.
Asheville was such an awesome city...beautiful mountain surroundings along with so many great shops and restaurants. I don't think we saw one chain. The first night we ate at a place called Tupelo Honey Cafe. All the food (meat & produce) are local from the owners farm.
The next day we walked to downtown and spent the entire day walking around the shops and on Saturday we went to the Western North Carolina farmers market. We bought an obsurd amount of green beans and a bunch of other yummies. I already made homemade apple sauce, mashed sweet potatoes, and of course sauteed & boiled green beans.
Anyways, then we drove to Greensboro to spend the night with Kevin's sister Amy and her hubby Matt. They took us to a their favorite sushi place Sushi Republic for our anniversary. Then we stopped by this new hotel for a drink, Proximity, that is an all green hotel. It was very cool.
Sunday afternoon we drove over to Chapel Hill to visit Amy & Peyton and kids. We also got to see a bunch of college friends (Kevin's groomsmen) and also meet Jason's fiance Gray & Chris's girlfriend Katie. Peyton was my campus minister in college but he and Amy moved up to NoVa so we used to see a lot of them. Thankfully they are up here all week visiting so we are dogsitting for them b/c their friends they are staying with don't allow any pets.
Overall we had a really fantastic vacation. It was so nice just to get away, and have no plans (except to relax).
