Weekend Away

Erik and I spent 2 days in beautiful Asheville, NC this past weekend. It was our first time away from MJ for an overnight and two full days. She did great without us (woohoo!)...and we were able to have time to reconnect, rest, have uninterrupted conversations (!!), and to enjoy the luxury of sleeping in (!!!!!).

It was a wintery weekend in Asheville - more like Chicago weather than the usual North Carolina weather...but, Asheville is in the mountains. :)

We had a lovely lunch at this cool cafe (thanks for the tip, Jamie!) Take a look at my incredible salad - they even had wheat-free bread as a side option! :)
We walked around the city some, but ended up spending most of the afternoon at a sweet coffee/tea shop to stay out of the crazy blowing snow.
On our drive up to our cabin, we stopped by the famous Penland School of Crafts. We weren't able to go into the shop (closed for the winter), but we soaked in the beautiful and rural setting of the school and enjoyed the magically snowy drive.
Our tiny and oh-so-cozy cabin!
