We took a short vacation to Asheville, NC last week. I just got off of night float and we needed an easy vacation. Since Asheville is an hour a way, we made the trip!
Here we are exploring the hotel. Winston got pretty brave about the hotel while we were there, such that once when we were headed to the elevator, Elliot and Winston ran ahead of Logan while I went back to the room to get something. Logan caught up with the boys just in time to press the elevator door button and open the elevator that Winston had boarded all by himself! He (and we) were a little more cautious after that…
We ate Brazilian Steak House for dinner which went very well with kids. They had cheese cubes, cracker and fruit on the buffet. They bring the meat right to you, which was entertaining. Plus, the kids ate free!
Here we are getting a cookie at the double-decker bus. It was decorated for Halloween!
Here are the kids that night at the hotel. Elliot tried to jump between beds without success.
We went to the Biltmore the next day.
The view was amazing!
They had started decorating for Christmas!
Lots of stairs to climb
Halloween room!

Grape juice for all at the Biltmore winery!
Back in Asheville that evening…
We found some statues of kitty cats!
Elliot, Winston, and tapas at Zambra! They were more into the chicken tender plate that the more interesting stuff. Oh well, more for Logan and me!
Back at the hotel we relaxed with our various screens.
The next day we checked out the Sierra Nevada brewery, which was delicious! Logan got a slap bracelet koozie, which was the prize souvenir of the trip! Then we headed to Gatlinburg to see the Nicely’s and start our Halloween celebration (coming soon!)
