Checking Lake Norman's trails...[/caption][caption id="attachment_1694" align="aligncenter" width="640"]
We loved the view at Lake Norman![/caption][caption id="attachment_1695" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
This bird was not sure what to make of us. I had to snap the pic quick![/caption][caption id="attachment_1696" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
US National Whitewater Center. We will be returning! The trails were closed, so we opted to do this another day but it was worth the $5 to park just to walk around.[/caption][caption id="attachment_1697" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
South Mountain State Park...a highway detour we're SO glad we made on the way to Asheville![/caption][caption id="attachment_1698" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
A lot of the trail up to the top of the waterfall was slipper stone or wood steps.[/caption][caption id="attachment_1699" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
Or just flat rocks that you have to traverse...[/caption][caption id="attachment_1700" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
It was worth the climb![/caption][caption id="attachment_1701" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
Definitely worth the climb![/caption][caption id="attachment_1702" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
It's hard to capture in a photo but there was so much mica in the ground that it shimmered in the sun.[/caption][caption id="attachment_1703" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
Down was just as tricky as up on these trails.[/caption][caption id="attachment_1704" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
Dinner at Mellow Mushroom at Asheville...Highly recommended![/caption][caption id="attachment_1705" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
Breakfast at Early Girl Eatery. It was good...not exceptional, but it was better than the hotel breakfast![/caption][caption id="attachment_1706" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
View from Biltmore Estates...some people have the life![/caption][caption id="attachment_1707" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
Greenhouse at Biltmore[/caption][caption id="attachment_1708" align="aligncenter" width="640"]
Fried tofu wings at Tupelo Honey Cafe...AMAZING!!! I would drive to Asheville again just to eat at this place.[/caption][caption id="attachment_1709" align="aligncenter" width="480"]
And Tupelo Honey's banana pudding? TO DIE FOR![/caption][caption id="attachment_1710" align="aligncenter" width="640"]
Biltmore House. Glad we decided to bite the bullet and pay to visit here.[/caption]
All in all, a GREAT road trip with the hubby. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
