Asheville Adventures

We spent the weekend in Asheville with the girls. We got there shortly after lunchtime on Friday so Uncle Forrest took us to 12 Bones, famous for their ribs. It is also on the Our State list of 100 restaurants in 100 counties......another one checked off our list! We walked around downtown, played in the Splasheville fountain, and hung out with Forrest and Phoebe before heading to the hotel. Savanna was worn out! Saturday was a wash out but we managed to have our share of fun. That fun included lots of splashing in puddles and swimming in the outdoor hotel pool. Mommy and daddy eventually gave in to the "wim" requests in the 70 degree heat. That pool was cold!! The girls got their 30 minutes of water time and we froze ourselves. The things we do for our children! Sunday came and before heading home we had brunch with Forrest then took a drive north on the Blue Ridge Parkway to Craggy Gardens for some scenic views and light hiking. These girls are troopers! Don't think there wasn't some complaining and carrying of small children along the way but we made it and were so glad that we did.
