Chris and I headed to Asheville last weekend for a final getaway before "Baby Bradley" gets here. We had a great time exploring Asheville. We stayed at the Haywood Park Hotel, which is smack dab in the center of town. We had lots of memorable meals- 2 standouts for dinner were Table and The Market Place. Both used locally sourced ingredients and had amazingly fresh choices. For breakfast, we hit the Early Girl Cafe and Tupelo Honey Cafe. Both were awesome and just what we were looking for.
On Saturday, Chris and I got up and headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway to check out the leaves and do a couple of (small) hikes. We were in for a big surprise when we got to the top and had a small blizzard on our hands. It was beautiful- but I wish I was better prepared for it. Life above 6000 feet is tough! Asheville was a whole 20 degrees warmer!
We went to the Biltmore on Sunday. It was a beautiful day to explore an amazing house and all the grounds. The whole trip was a great way to spend a weekend.
Just in case you were wondering, we found the Bat Cave.

Brrrrrr.
It's hard to capture how hard the wind was blowing. It was bone chilling.
Clearly at a lower elevation! We probably were about 3-4 days early for peak leaf color.
