It is green, it is lush, it is Asheville, North Carolina, and I am finally here. We flew in Saturday...wow, guys, just 1 hour and 20 minutes, hardly enough time for two glasses of wine. We are here and loving it...the temps are colder than what we expected but I am a fine...I am from CHICAGO...
Shopping downtown Asheville....yes, I bought one. 
Another great shop...
A peek of our room. The Husband is taking a nap and I am going to wrap some gifts for when I meet Penny and Penny for lunch tomorrow! Having fun!!!!!

I am jealous!!!! Enjoy enough for me too and take lots of pics. Are you going to the Biltmore? You don't have to answer, just enjoy if you do.
Hey Girl ~ Welcome to the south! I hate I'm not there to great you. How wonderful to be in our state's beautiful Asheville. Don't know if you're there for business or please but ... of course the Biltmore House is great. Must see, the Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa (if you're not already staying there. Check out 5 Walnut Wine Bar on Walnut Street and, Early Girl Eatery (made from scratch regional fare. They's received high prase from Southern Living magazine, New York Times and Bon Apetit. Just a few of my favorites. Enjoy your time. Grab a sweater too. Debi
It's been chilly here in Atlanta, too! Don't know what's up with this CRAZY weather! With a cozy room like that...you might not ever want to go home! Have fun, Jane!
Enjoy! One of my favorite places to visit. We are only 2 hours away from there. Great shops, great food, and you are going to love the people. So laid back there:) Enjoy Jane!

Hi Jane!
Have so much fun on your travels.
Your room DOES look so comfy and cozy.
Love regional antique shops... my most favorite thing to do when traveling.
It's still chilly back here at home but the rain has passed at least.
Please tell me, when will global warming hit our neck of the woods, Jane?
xx
Have fun~

Hi Jane Sweetie...
Oh my gosh, are those signs ever cute. I would love one for my front yard, we have one guy who always walks his dog, and never carries a bag. I get tired of cleaning up after him.
Wow what a quick trip to your destination. I can't wait to see the photos of Penny and Penny. What fun you will have. Sounds like you are having a great time. Love the view from your room.
Have a glorious vacation sweet friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Yeah for green and lush! Happy shopping and have a fabulous lunch tomorrow. xo
I loved Asheville, Jane. So fun!
I am so glad you are having fun Jane. Did you do the Biltmore? If you do make sure to do the backlot tour! I loved touring that place and I have never been there when the gardens are in full bloom. Your room looks lovely and I hope you have fun picking up Pennies! Hugs- Diana
Looks like great fun. Have a good time.
I just saw today that you were a winner on someone's blog. Sorry, I don't remember. Better check.
you must find the chocolate lounge as I have heard it is amazing!!! Have fun! I know you will love it. Be sure to go visit The Grove Park Inn & schedule a treatment at the spa if you can!
HUGS!
Charlene

Have a wonderful time!
Hugs,

Hi Jane, It sounds as though you are really going to have a great time. Take a lot of pictures to share. My vacation this year will be looking at everybody elses. It is going to get down to the 30"s tonight. It is so unreal that is for sure. Have a great time. Your Missouri friend.

OH Yah Jane!
Dan and I loved it there! So much fun, so much beauty!
Drive out to Chimney Rock if you get a chance. They have an elevator that takes you way up and the views of the city and mountains are amazing!
Oh, and Dan and I drove about 50 miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Out of our way but definately worth it! The views and flowers will take your breath away!
Enjoy!
Hugs,
Cindy
Have fun and enjoy every moment!

How fun...I love North Carolina! "no dumping' is too cute:)
Oh good! I sprained my ankle, so now I can take a virtual vacation with you and your hubby while I sit here with my leg propped up!
So far, I love it all, especially those poop signs, lol.
I can't wait to see all the places you take us in Asheville, oh, and the food, I've heard there are some great restaurants there.
Have a wonderful time!
Don't forget Screen Door! That place is fabulous!
Enjoyed this post and look forward to more. Only visited Asheville once and loved it! Would like to go back!
Have fun Jane, enjoy the beauty! HUGS!

Hi Jane! Have a wonderful time and happy shopping!
Kelly
I'm so glad you are having fun. Hopefully, it warms up for you. Have a wonderful time! La
Oh, how wonderful, Jane! I hope you have the most marvelous time! It's unseasonably cold here in California, too...what happened to all that global warming?!
Have fun, my friend!
Julie
You are staying in a beautiful place! Love the No dumping, but it wouldn't work on the cows! Have fun!
Hi Jane...
My friend, it sounds like you are having a fabulous time! I have seen photos of Ashville and the surrounding area and it really is a beautiful place...I would love to visit someday! In the meantime...take lots of photos for us! Hehe! Your room looks pretty and very comfy too!
Girlfriend, the "No Dumping" pet signs are just adorable! I really do need one too...although my neighbor lady with all the dogs really doesn't care when they come over to our yard...and I'm afraid the dogs can't read! Eeeks! Ohh...don't get me started on that subject! Hehe! Well Darlin', you and honey just have the best time ever and enjoy your meeting with Penny too! How wonderful! Talk with you later...
Love ya, sweet friend!

Looks like you're having fun. I'll be in Boston in June. I'm a west coast girl so I'm so excited to be visiting the east coast for a change of scenery!
Looks like you're off to a great start. Have a wonderful trip.
Enjoy yourself Jane...and bring back some sunshine for us northerners...would you?!!

Hi Blondie
I just came back from visit to your town! I loved Chicago and will definitely visit again in the future to see more of it. The tulips along the Magnificent Mile were gorgeous!
