In an effort to continue catching you up on our life this fall, Chris' family visited us the first week of October (everyone except April and Pete and Grandma Bonnie). This was the second time I've met Crystal, the first being our wedding. We were so excited that they all made the decision to come out for Crystal's birthday weekend!
First up was the Biltmore Estate. Chris and I were working, but they found their way around the place without our help. Jay brought us back some wine from the winery. And I think Crystal scored a shirt for her birthday!
The classic Biltmore garden shot...already framed.
Another great shot of the area. What a cute couple! (They're called the Smokies for a reason. It looks like they are on fire quite often.)
I'm not exactly sure where this is other than off the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's no fourteener either--just a few feet shy! I think this was on the way to Cherokee.
Apple-picking turned pumpkin-picking this year. You should have seen the effort we gave it though! I'm pretty sure we found every last apple remaining on the trees here. After I fell off Chris' shoulder trying to get an apple, I think we gave in and bought the rest to fill our peck.
The fresh apple cider slushies at this place are incredible!
Asheville's finest new BBQ establishment, the Fiddlin' Pig (or Piddlin' Fig). We went here to celebrate Crystal's birthday, hush puppies, fried pickles, and the local phenomenon of clogging for all ages.
We had a great time with you all. Please come back soon...although hopefully we'll be out your direction before another 2 years passes us by! Thanks again for making the effort to travel all that way, take time off work, save the money, and spend the time with us that we've been missing.
We love you!
