Brandon and I headed up to Asheville for the weekend to visit his sister and her husband and their new house. We had a great weekend exploring the area. The houses there are all amazing--Victorian, Craftsman, and everything in between. We tried to go to the Grove Park Inn for the antique sale (the conference was a little too serious for us) but we tried to go on Friday, which was a preview day. The sign said $10 for all three shows (antique, new furniture, and books) for all three days, but somehow that only applied to Saturday and Sunday...which, if I count correctly, seems to be just two days. The guy manning the desk didn't seem to understand it, either. To get into the antique sale on Friday was $40 per person, which apparently goes toward some sort of a grant for renovators. A worthy cause, indeed, but too steep for our budget. We decided instead to just hang out at the Grove Park Inn and look like we belonged there (i.e., had paid our way in). The photo on the top is of the Inn. The photo on the bottom is the two of us at the Carl Sandburg National Historic Site, which has walking trails and a goat barn, as well as a nice gift shop. They also had a cat that looked like Gecko.
More weekend photos are HERE.
