Mimi and Pops came in town on Thursday to watch Ansley while Rob and I went to Asheville for a much needed getaway! It has been almost 2 years since Rob and I have gone away without Ansley. We had a wonderful time in Asheville and had the most beautiful weather. We toured the Biltmore on Friday, tasted wine at the winery, and went to a great Mediterranean restaurant that night. And Saturday we decided to just take it easy. We started the morning off with massages at Sensibilities, it was AWESOME and such a nice way to start your day! If you are ever in Asheville and do not want to spent money for a massage at the Grove Park Inn (you pay big bucks because it is the Grove Park) then I recommend going to Sensibilities Day Spa in downtown Asheville. After our hour massages we went back to the condo (thanks Jenna & Richard for letting us use the place) to shower and head out to lunch. We ate at Corner Kitchen in the Biltmore Village and then did some shopping :) We then headed to the Grove Park Inn to just sit outside and relax in rocking chairs while having some corona's (I wanted Rob to see the Grove Park since he has never been there before). After getting some sun and having drinks we headed to downtown Asheville to just walk around. We ended the night with dinner at the Lobster Trap, YUM!
We couldn't have asked for a better weekend and we want to thank Mimi and Pops for watching Ansley for us.
While we were in Asheville Mimi, Pops and Ansley were very busy. They played outside a ton, went to McDonald's for lunch, went on wagon rides and made several trips down to the lake to throw rocks in the water. Ansley didn't seem to mind at all that we were gone. We know she got spoiled by Mimi & Pop's and loved every minute of it! Thanks again :)
Here are some pictures from our trip to Asheville as well as pictures of Ansley having a great time with her grandparents!

Jen,
I am so happy you and Rob were able to get away, just the two of you, for the weekend. It sounds like you guys had a wonderful time! And the flowers at the Biltmore were beautiful-- we did get screwed when we went. Mother nature was definitely not on our side. Glad Ansley did well with Mimi and Pops. I bet she slept really well at night!
Loved the great pictures! You and Rob had a lovely setting in which to relax and have fun. We missed Ansley the minute we left! Let us do it again soon! love, Mimi
I am so glad you guys got away! It is so important and we don't do it enough. The Biltmore is gorgeous. I would love to go there. The flowers and your pictures are amazing.
