We took a few days over Thanksgiving and headed to the Biltmore Inn in Asheville. We collected Lorelai along the way and Legare motored in from Chapel Hill. Delicious food...quality time with our children...a little shopping...a massage and facial at the Inn spa. On Saturday, we headed to Clemson for the state rivalry game, USC vs. Clemson.
Tailgating = FUN
Game = NOT ONE SINGLE BIT OF FUN
And that is all I'm going to say about that...
How about some fun photos? Yes, I thought you'd like that. Hope that your holiday was the best ever. Two slideshows...one of Asheville and the second of the tailgate...
I totally agree with you about the Clemson game. WE froze for nothing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time you had in Asheville. Such a beautiful place to stay. I love Biltmore Village. Chelsea's is the best place to eat for lunch/brunch if you have never eaten there. They have yummy desserts! Sorry about the game, but at least you had fun. Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving away. Enjoy your week. You are on the countdown until Christmas vacation. That is the one thing I always loved about teaching... the Christmas and summer vacations! Love & blessings from NC!
ReplyDeleteYour slideshows are so cute. Glad yall had a nice vacation. I spent Thanksgiving at Edisto and ran the Turkey Day Run in Charleston. Love your city!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, you have got to explain "tailgating" to me. I've never done it and it looks like a whopping party, with awesome friends and awesome food. How do you decide who brings what, or do you just show up with stuff to share. Do you know who is coming to the party, or is it total strangers? I've just got to figure out how to do this and have a tailgate party.
ReplyDeleteLoved the slide shows, beautiful photos.
Sorry to rub it in and maybe it's in poor taste, but my Aggies whopped the Longhorns (woo hoo).
Happy Thanksgiving, Belle! Love those family pictures. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeletelook at you all, spending turkey day in my hometown...super jealous since I had to stay in Raleigh!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your Tigers. I completely understand the intra-state rivalry (I'm a tiger from another state- without a lake) You'll get'em next year!! You tailgated well, and that's all that mattered! ;)
ReplyDeleteI havent been to Asheville in years I so enjoyed those photos sorry about the game...
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the game...but glad you enjoyed your time in Asheville!

Love Asheville... Too lovely. And as for the game, I hate to say it, but I was giddy. We Gamecocks needed this year...
ReplyDeletelooks like a fun weekend even if the game was TERRIBLE! I'm a big Tiger fan and haven't gotten over it yet..lol Hopefully they can redeem themselves by bowl time and next season. Did I really just say that?:(
ReplyDeleteCute blog! I love the Biltmore House. As a Gamecock girl I have to disagree with you about the game though.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your loss! I ate Whataburger on Thanksgiving this year and MY team lost as well! UGH!
ReplyDeleteYou all look so cute tailgating!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know I made your caramel pecan pie for Thanksgiving, and it was everyone's favorite dessert (I also made pumpkin pie and pumpkin spice latte cheesecake)! Thanks again for sharing that recipe!
LOVE the pix! It is amazing to me how much your kids have changed in the past 2 years. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteOh...how badly I want to go sit in front of those fireplaces...NOW!
Thanks for sharing the photos. Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving :)
