Jon wanted to exchange some motorcycle parts with a guy, so we went over to Asheville on Friday afternoon and came home Saturday. We stopped at a bunch of Antique stores and thrift shops along the way and on the way home as well. Except for the coooold, it was a fun time! (we went to one antique mall that was in an old tobacco barn, really great stuff, but it was sooo cold inside, you could see your breath! ) Jon got a few more razors to add to his collection, but that's another post for another day.
Jon said we could go to the Biltmore Estate, but since it was sooo cold, I told him I just wanted to drive by and take some pictures. They won't let you see it though, unless you pay for the tour....maybe another trip. We did get to see this really fancy McDonald's though! I think that's genuine gold platting!
It was a little chilly!
Here's the extent of snow we've seen this year!
We found this little piggy when we got lost...well, we really weren't lost. When we put the address of the house we wanted to go to into the Tom Tom, we (I) didn't notice there was a BlueBird Lane and a Blue Bird Lane (with a space) and long story short, we ended up in the back woods of North Carolina, Jon heard Banjo music and I was just plan scared! It was pretty wild. When we called the guy we were meeting, and said we turned at a fork in the dirt road, he said "what?!" yeah we were waaay off, it turns out we were all the way across town!

It was a little chilly!This is what we found when we left the hotel on Saturday morning...Frozen drinks and Frozen water.

Look at the beautiful hills and Mountains...

Sounds like a very fun & very COLD trip! Boston was a balmy 1 degree (not factoring in wind-chill) when I drove Adam to school Friday morning. Brrrr.
Love the pictures of your trip. I've seen that McDonald's on a tv show, it's the most elaborate one in the chain I think. Has to try and keep up with the Biltmore 'Jones' across the street!
You need a collecting hobby like Jon so when you go to antique stores you have something to look for!
