Asheville, NC

Eating our way around town!  Finn is pleased with his fried chicken sandwich.

Tons of art, artists and great studios around town.  Kids loved perusing and window shopping much to our surprise.  This building had a giant chalkboard where you could fill in the sentence "before I die I want to...".  Finn wants to play for the Blackhawks, Saoirse wants to be a mom and Seamus is still thinking.

Dogs everywhere!  This is Wesley.  He works at an art studio.

A soda at the Woolworth's counter.

Snuggling at the hotel.

Tons of spontaneous bands playing around at all times of day and night.  This one was our favorite.  They were called St. Cinder.  They live on a school bus with three dogs...Kids were intrigued.

Porters Creek and The Pigeon River

We spent about an hour and a half just right here....they were in heaven.

The whole crew.

Look closely!  We stumbled upon a patch of 30-40 butterflies!

Post white water rafting.  No actual photos taken during this extreme sporting event.  No one fell in.  Success.
