asheville bound with my small group




so, gotta love when you bake a cake on thursday night around midnight for the weekend trip and forget it on the counter... sorry girls, once again. i got to the mountain cabin around 4 pm friday afternoon, and got a bed in the party room, woohoo!!!




after we all arrived in black mountain, we got ready and headed to the candlelight tour of the biltmore house at christmas time. i haven't ever seen the biltmore house, so this was super exciting for me. we walked around all those rooms, and i even took one picture, before i was informed that no cameras were allowed, oops.




saturday morning, i awoke around 10 am and of course everyone was already awake, haha - not the morning person here. the girls and i headed to chimney rock! i took the elevator to the top, while the girls took the steps and hiked up to the top. i met them at the top, and we took lots of pictures, some pictures are below. we then proceeded to hike some of the walking trails, especially the one to the waterfall. thanks to all the girls for helping me on the trail, i was determined to make it. i had my foot/leg wrapped in the ace bandage, and the girls, mainly kaleena, held my hand the whole time to make sure i didn't fall or twist my ankle on the logs or holes along the path. then we walked down to the parking lot too, i was tired and my leg/foot was sore at the end, but i'm glad i did it!




saturday night we went to tupelo honey cafe in downtown asheville. we had a good time, the food was delicious and worth the wait.
