Asheville was another of last years locations I never got to. It was just the right distance, to make it a lunch stop. The beautiful drive through The Great Smoky Mountains, makes it worth going Asheville on it's own. I was thinking of having lunch at the Biltmore Mansion. Then I discovered it was going to cost $60, just to enter the property. It actually looks like it would be worth the money, if I was going to spend the entire day touring the property.

I settled for a great little restaurant in Biltmore Village.
Biltmore Village, is like Yorkville could have been. Neat little bistro's and restaurants. Lots of art gallery's, and crafty stores. Asheville is a beautiful city, and I plan on touring it properly another time. Biltmore Village, just sort of condenses the nice stuff of Asheville into a small area. I had one of the best Reuben Sandwiches ever at the Corner Kitchen, with a potato salad, that had chunks of feta cheese in it. I have to remember that for next time I make potato salad.
They also served local craft beers. I had a White Zombie Ale, which is Belgium style wheat beer. Very crisp and refreshing, perfect with a Reuben, and potato salad.
Another 5 hours in the car to get to Savannah, Georgia. I have decided to skip Charleston this trip. I am going to spend the day touring Savannah, and then it's a 6 hour drive to Briny Breezes, Florida.
