a libation enjoyed by the roaring fire at Grove Park Inn


we took our anniversary trip to our tried and true favorite~Asheville, NC back at the beginning of of December to celebrate 9 years of marriage. we just love this town. and this year, in addition to all our standard favorites, we had the help of the Kesler's and their local insider suggestions ;-). we could have eaten our way through Asheville. there are some chefs with seriously mad skills in that town.

so, if you are ever headed that way, let me go on and on about what all to do there :)

We LOVE the Biltmore House!!! I have pictures of myself when I was in 10th grade (with bad hair, I might add) picking the lion's nose as well as Jeremy and I (better hair days) when we went back in '04!! How fun...we'll have to get some insider info the next time we go.

Love all the pictures...so very fun!

That libation looks delish...the whole trip sounds like heaven!! Except the shrimp part, of course.
