Armed with the timeshare sprinter, we took off to Ashville to re-familiarize ourself with the town. It had been about 4 years since we did a trip there. I kind of forgot what the city was actually like and why people like to go there.
First stop was to see the Biltmore in the spring. All the flowers and plants were just starting the spring time emergence. We walked around the grounds, the Azalea gardens, and fields.
Afterwards we went to the “Pop’s Building Materials” and found all types of weird tile, wood, and doors. The place also had some very interesting art work available in bulk.
That afternoon, we parked the van in Asheville proper and did a drinking tour of the breweries in down town Asheville. Greenman Brewery, Wicked Weed, Bahrman Brewery, Mood Kitchen and Lounge. Then we finished the night with unlimited play at the Asheville Pinball Museum. That night we pulled the van into a Cracker Barrel parking and slept like a sack of rocks.
The next day, we woke up and had delicious biscuit at a CAT themed breakfast place. The line was ridiculously long. Afterwards, we checked the opening hours of New Belgium Brewery to make sure they were open. Luckily enough when we arrived, we were able to walk right on to a tour. These are normally booked out for weeks.
Leaving we grabbed some White Duck tacos and hit the road back to Charlotte.
