Our reservations are made for our trip to Chimney Rock, North Carolina. Our best option was to get a room in Asheville which is about 15 miles west of Chimney Rock. Using our Hotels.com Welcome Rewards we booked with one free night - which cut our hotel cost in half. (Woo-hoo!)
We visited Asheville when Granpa was contracted with Danville Regional back in 2011. Go to our earlier posts (http://thetravelerstwo.blogspot.com/2011/12/asheville-north-carolina.html) and read about the origins of Asheville, their role in the Civil War (or lack of it), and then check out the posts about the Biltmore Estate by going to the "Search" field in the top right-hand corner of the blog, type in the word "Biltmore" and it will give you a cascade list of all the posts mentioning that word.
While you do that, I have to go prepare to get outta town tomorrow. Granpa usually gets off early on Thursday of his three-day weekend, so I won't have time tomorrow to do much of anything but load the car. If you believe future weather forecasts it should be an absolutely stunning weekend to go clamber up some mountains and check out the waterfalls. Should be a ton of fun!
