Something old & Something new

Monday, July 26, 2010 | |

Ok.. so I'm blogging a day late because of a tiring day yesterday, and perfect nap weather when we got home! That said, yesterday was amazing! We started the day off at our favorite neighborhood restaurant, The Fireside Diner. It's the perfect place! An old house, amazing food, and people who know what we want before we order it! I did have trouble deciding between my normal BLT on homemade sourdough bread, and biscuits and sausage gravy. Mom and I each decided to get one and we split it! Everyone got what they wanted! After that we started through the Western NC mountains into a little town called Cashiers. We arrived at a small school that was hosting an antiques show. (In order to fill our new house with one of a kind, unique things, we will be antiquing for a while!) This was a waste of time for many reasons, long story short, these people LOVED their old stuff, and had mistaken it for gold. So we continued down the road to a real antique mall! Although we didn't have much luck here either, we were happy to be in a place with reasonable prices for nice old things! I also was able to get the perfect mountain view above from the parking lot. It's crazy how in NC the views are everywhere. You would expect to have to pay for views like this, but all you have to do is go outside! We decided that since we ended up in Asheville anyway, we would ride through UNC Asheville so I could get a glimpse at the campus. It looks less like a college campus on the way in and more like the Blue Ridge, until you come up on all of the mountain style buildings atop the hill. If it hadn't been monsooning outside I would have remembered to snap a photo. I am extremely excited to visit the campus for a real tour ASAP. We ended the day with a delicious Mexican dinner and a margarita back home in Hendersonville! The end to a perfect day! Here's a few snapshots, enjoy!


P.S. Sorry for the immediate salivation that you know just occurred! :)
