TGIF- Asheville Bound!

Good morning, ladies! Although I do not know if I am prepared to migrate north this weekend to colder temperatures, I am VERY excited about spending the weekend in Asheville for my cousin's bachelorette party. Tonight when we arrive we will have a Mexican Fiesta complete with fajitas and margaritas...yum...and do the lingerie shower..fuN!

And tomorrow, we are going to the Biltmore House to their spa, where I will be having a massage and pedicure. This will be my first massage ever and I am a little nervous about this because I don't generally like to have my shoulders massaged, etc. so we'll see.


Here's the Biltmore House:

A little background on the Biltmore Estate if you have never been. Biltmore was built in 1895 by George Vanderbilt when he purchased 125,000 acres in Asheville, NC. It was designed by Richard Morris Hunt after an early 16th century French chateaux. In 1930, the estate was opened to the public. The Biltmore Estate today includes a winery made from the old dairy barns, an inn, and gardens. It's beautiful, and definitely worth the price of admission if you are ever in the Asheville area!!

But, back to the bachelorette party. After a spa day, we will be going to dinner at an Italian restaurant in downtown Asheville...I don't know the name, but I'm sure it will be great since a girl who is from Asheville made the reservations!

I can't wait for a girl's weekend with my cousins and some others! Oh, and the best part- NO WORK ON MONDAY :-) I will definitely enjoy it since it will be the only holiday I have off until July 4th! So, I apologize in advance if you don't hear from me until Tuesday. Have a great weekend, everyone!!

    I adore the Biltmore! I am fairly certain that it remains the largest house in the US even after all these years! I am only an hour away from Asheville and let me warn you we are in the single digits weather wise!

    I've been craving a margarita for weeks! Maybe it's about time I indulged myself.

    When I had a massage, I was so grossed out the whole time I thought I was going to be sick. I don't really like many people to touch me, so that was really the problem....but I hope you don't have that problem too! I want to go to the Biltmore, I've been trying to get my boyfriend to take me for about 3 years. Have fun and stay warm!!
