We ushered in the roaring 20’s this week with friends in Asheville, North Carolina. It’s a short hour and a half drive from Bristol and offers some of the best food and drinks around.
Sugar Mountain Ski Trip
While the weather forecast predicted rain all day, we were able to enjoy our time at Sugar Mountain. The mountains blocked most of the rain so we saw mostly fog and mist which weren’t great for visibility but it didn’t ruin our day. I had a wonderful time learning to ski on blades which are […]
The Best Time to Visit the Biltmore Estate
While the colder months might seem like a dead period for some, I see it as an opportunity to take advantage of “touristy” places being less crowded. Even better, I look to see if they are less expensive to visit. Case and point: The Biltmore Estate.
Double D’s Coffee & Desserts
Double D’s Coffee and Desserts is housed inside a double-decker bus that originally roamed the bustling streets of London.

Wigging Out in Asheville, NC
A few years back I saw a picture on Facebook of girls in wigs for a bachelorette party and I knew when it was my turn that I would be completely unoriginal and copy them. We “wigged out” in Asheville and had an absolute blast. I was worried initially that people would give us funny […]
Girlfriends’ Guide to Cider Fest
We had the most amazing time in Asheville for my bachelorette party! As fate would have it, Cider Fest was on the same weekend and this bride loves hard cider! Accompanied by my best girlfriends, we took Asheville and Cider Fest by storm the same way… one drink at a time. Looking back on this […]

SIERRA NEVADA BREWERY
This brewery sets the bar for breweries everywhere! Have some brews and peruse!
HIKING IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS
We were in North Carolina not West Virginia but every time I thought of the Blue Ridge Mountains I burst out in John Denver lyrics.
