All of my Asheville reviews about drinks in one spot. This post covers Wineries, Breweries, Cideries, and Bars.

All of my Asheville food reviews in one spot. This post covers BBQ, Restaurants, Food Trucks, & Take Out.

I do not have a bucket list.  I would spend way too much time working on the list and not enough time living it.  If I did have a list, going to Dollywood would be on it.  I could not wrap my head around the fact that Dolly Parton built a theme park.  Never knowing when or how, I always knew I had to see it with my own eyes.

Are hygiene, status, or crowds stopping you from going to waterparks? A post to dive into the possibility of elevating waterparks to encourage fun for all.

Waterparks can provide more to us than we ever expected. A post explaining the surprising benefits of going to a waterpark.

Starting to settle in, but there definitely is an adjustment period.  The highlights of Week 2 in Asheville was really my birthday!  Celebrating your birthday in a new city is a great idea, when you do it right.  I made the mistake of working during my birthday and celebrating during the weekend. 

At the end of every blog post, I challenge my readers to something that will encourage self-growth and learning. This post shares the all challenges, so far.

Laptops shut and we looked at each other like “Now, what?” I decided to google what events were happening in Asheville that weekend and I am so glad I did. We attended Downtown After 5, hiked the Craggy Gardens Trail, and explored Hendersonville & Flat Rock. Along the way, we went to a few breweries and wineries. 

Finally, I found a job that allowed me to travel.  It took longer than we thought.  Since the date we wanted to leave was so close, so many spots were fully booked.  Unexpectedly, the best deal seemed to be Asheville, NC which was the complete opposite direction of our original journey map.  Initially, we thought we would start in the North in Montana, but with the recent news at Yellowstone, we decided to wait for hopefully better circumstances to go.
