finally i am writing bout our trip in the mountain, i was very busy since we arrived and didnt get much time to really be in mylot. anyway, we left home noon in friday and arrived in Asheville almost 7pm. we didnt plan to stay in Asheville but the hotels in Black Mountain is either no vacancy or the only available is smoking which is a big no no to us. anyway, we found a hotel near downtown asheville and had our dog stayed with us ($20/night) but it is ok since he can sleep no problem beside he enjoy staying in a hotel - spoiled ei? we ate in downtown asheville to a restaurant called "CHORIZO" i must admit it was the best place (so far) for a mexican/spanish we ever try. my man had a lamb based meal and i had seafood paella. mine is just ok but his is amazingly yummy. i cant help but eat half of his haha. we end up eating there again the next day coz i am just too in love with the meal. i love asheville a lot, we've been there trice already and the feeling is just amazingly great. i think because it is surrounded by mountains and the neighboring town is just awesome. last time we stayed in blowing rock and it is just gorgeous in autumn, i am hoping we can go there again this year and bring mom. we left the hotel like 10am and head to the blue ridge parkway. we were both sad when we see that most of the blue berry bush is almost done with its fruit and we thought we are very late coz last year we were there 1st week of august. we saw a couple saying that there are bunch of people grabbing blueberries in the graveyard fall (i think that's the name) and it so happen that is the same place we had trailed last year. it is so funny that we thought we are a sneaky one last year thinking that it was only us who may have noticed the berries coz it was a lot then BUT those more than 30 cars near the area showed us that we are wrong. all of them have their own tumbler and even pale with blueberries on it. i told my hubby that we might be too late coz there are lots of 'em taking the berries. we head to the far area of the river and we found a lot of bushes and there is our fun. LOL i am so happy that my man is so supportive, i even teased him that he spoiled me so much coz he goes far when i asked him to do something. our dog have a lot of fun too. we spend a few hours picking them and then decide to just head to the trail and enjoy the other part of the trip. i posted here our dog photo when he is stuck in the rock, he knows how to jump to big rocks coz we do a lot of that kind of trip and for some reason he dont want to do it and just stay there waiting for us to pick him up. it was a very cute photo i think coz you can only see his head haha. he is such a good sport coz he will try to find his ways to go with us. i was stuck in one of the vine and he was just there waiting for me till i get the chance to get my self down - pretty sweet ei? we left the mountain late night (10pm i think). we arrived home past 2am and we are very tired. we plan to stay longer up there but our friend wants us to spend time with her and her daughter have a dinner together before her daughter move to her dorm. she is our very dear friend so we just decide to come home even it is too late. anyway, that is our fun time up there. it is our yearly fun coz of the blueberries so it is really great to look forward for the month of august . yay! how about you? do you have a yearly fun that you always look forward to? do you like outdoors fun? thanks for the time reading this. takecare
