Asheville Activities - Day One

We arrived in Asheville, NC on Sunday afternoon and were not disappointed in our temporary home. I highly recommend Willow Winds to anyone coming to the area. Our 2-bedroom, 2-bath "cabin" has a whirlpool tub as well as a jacuzzi on the patio; a deck with a spectacular view; there's a putting green in our "backyard"; they have foosball, ping pong, air hockey, and skee ball in the game room; there's a fitness room; a fishing pond; a 1000 title free video library (can't wait to watch Dreamgirls); and it's in a really convenient location (i.e., there's a Starbucks nearby - I'm not being deprived of my Vanilla Bean Frappucinos)!

So here's some of the highlights of the trip so far.

The view from our deck (I love Adirondack chairs):

We ate lunch at a fine dining establishment (yes, this is the "world's classiest McDonald's according to the Travel Channel):

And dinner at an even finer restaurant on the Biltmore Estate. (No, Steve and Robert did not dress alike on purpose, and Steve is not Robert's Ring Twin!)

The food was delicious and the view spectacular!
