Weekend in Asheville

I've been meaning to post some of the pictures I took during our weekend in Asheville. We rented a cabin in the outskirts of town, it was a nice little place. All the comforts of home and then some (satellite tv and a hot tub!). It even had a "fireplace."

We had a great time. It was very relaxing and the weather was great. We spent a lot of time outside wandering up and down some trails but spent time indoors as well. She worked on school stuff, I on painting.

It was totally worth the 9 hour drive. I get to see her again in 1 week, as I will be flying back to Charleston. Good times.

Cooking

Here's a virtual tour of the cabin starting with the kitchen. Sarah cooked a tasty dinner saturday night.

Fireplace

This is the strange little electric firplace space heater. It was marginally effective, but gets points for effort.

The creek

The cabin was very isolated. At times the only thing you could hear was this small brook that ran in front of the place. It was ver, very quiet and a little unsettling at times. I loved it.

Mountain Climbing

Ok, so it wasn't much of a mountain. But it's certainly bigger than any hills I'm used to! The weather was great and we spent most of saturday outside. As we were making our way up, we would occasionally pass signs that reminded us that we were in nature, and there might be bears lurking about. Didn't see any though. Good times.

What a beautiful place.
