After we checked out of our hotel in Asheville on Monday morning, we took a couple hours to explore Biltmore Village.
Penny loved walking around the streets, and we got to watch a train go by.
We paused for some family pictures on the train tracks.
After lunch in our favorite Asheville restaurant, The Village Wayside Grille, we popped our root beer candies in our mouths and hopped in the car for a two hour ride to Sevierville, TN.
We took the scenic route for the last 45 minutes and enjoyed the beautiful Tennessee countryside. We even pulled over to check out an old cemetery. Some of the stones dated back to the 1800s.
It was so nice to arrive at the campground where my grandparents live for the first time in over two years. We checked into our cozy cabin for the next two nights.
My grandma made us a delicious dinner Monday night and a breakfast feast on Tuesday morning. She sure spoiled us. Then, they took us on a beautiful tour of the Foothills Parkway.
Mountains are so majestic. I love them.
We pulled over at one point and hiked up a trail to a lookout tower.
We ended our day with a visit to the Apple Barn restaurant, where we got to eat our meal on porch swings (picture fail). After dinner, we took a trip to Bass Pro Shop. Aaron and I were totally out of our element amidst the camouflage and weaponry. But it was a lot of fun. Also, I found a boat to match my shoes. So next time we have an extra $40,000, that's happening. ;)
We had a wonderful visit with my grandparents. They are keeping Penny while we go to Murfreesboro, and we will meet up with them on Saturday to pick her up on our way home.
She will surely appreciate missing the four hour drive we have ahead of us today. We all know how she feels about long car rides now, don't we...
Goodbye Sevierville, hello Murfreesboro.
