This day we decided to drive to Asheville through Lake Lure. Beautiful Lake Lure is a summer retreat with a lake lined with beautiful homes. The road around the lake is paved but very thin and winding so we would not want to have to drive it in the summer when it is bumper to bumper traffic.
Our first stop in Asheville was the amazing and historic Grove Park Inn
where we had drinks on the veranda and took in the amazing view of the city. Mike and Curls took us to the hotel spa where they enjoy hanging out when they stay at the Inn.
We left the Grove and drive downtown to walk around, have drinks and lunch. They took us to a quaint furniture store where they had purchased much of their furniture. We got some amazing ideas looking around this store! We stopped at The Brier Garden for drinks and appetizers and to watch the interesting people wander by the open windows. We left the Brier for Chocolate Fetish, a store of beautifully crafted delicious chocolate of all types!
Our next stop was the Wedge Brewing Company for a drink and peanuts! We sat outside and again watched the people. Next to the Wedge was an interesting shop of old items, many we had when we were kids and now are popular for decorating.
We ended the day at Sierra Nevada Brewing which was quite an amazing place. It was a huge campus with a brewery, restaurant and of course a gift shop. We had enough appetizers here to call it dinner! They definitely have a chef because the food was amazing, even the quail!
