Climb every mountain...

Ok, so we actually didn't climb any mountains (or even go hiking for that matter), but we were IN the mountains over the weekend... that kind of counts, right!?

Asheville was a ton of fun. The weather was beautiful, the drive was not very long (I am a really bad car rider), and the company was great! We left CLT on Friday around 6pm which means we didn't get to Asheville until about 8:30.
We checked in really quick and then headed downtown for some food. We ended up eating at this cute little place called "Table". Our waiter was great. He told us about how sometimes the cooks get so drunk they can't cook and have to shut down the restaurant for the night... how bizarre is that?! Only in Asheville. We also saw some really cute signs showing how "green" Asheville is:

(Just incase you can't read them... the first one says: Please be gentle on our old pipes and save a tree....be cautious of how much toilet paper you use. Second one says: For hybrid vehicles only. Third one says: Please turn off lights to conserve energy. Thank you. )

Saturday started off great. Justin booked us a couples massage and facial at Illusions for 9am which means we didn't get to sleep in but it was definitely worth it. It relaxed us so much that we barely made it through lunch and shopping before we had to go back to the hotel and take an afternoon siesta. That night we ate at Vincenzos, which had some wonderful italian food. Dinner was followed by a little bit of bar hopping before we called it a night.

Sunday we headed to Winston to pick up Gracie from my parents and then back to Charlotte. It was a GREAT weekend!!
TODAY was the 1st day of my new job at Presby. Actually this week is just orientation so I haven't really started working yet... but it still kind of counts. We got to see this really funny video that is on youtube that you should definitely check out: Soapacabana.

I think I was delirious from sitting still for 8+ hours at that point and thought this was the funniest thing I had ever seen. Take home message: WASHING HANDS SAVES LIVES.

That's about all for now.... Hope everyone has a great week!!
