Now that we’ve got a little more free time, we’re starting to get a chance to enjoy the area ourselves a little more. After all, our idea to move here was as much for a lifestyle change as a business venture. We think Biltmore Estate (where we were married!) is a pretty wonderful place, fortunately to be enjoyed any time of the year. (Check our packages page for information on our winter ticket prices, which are pretty amazing right now.)
Hooray, the daytime temps are back up to the 60s so far this week. This is our kind of January.
Whew! We’ve had quite a busy week. How about you? We had family over (Brigette’s brother and sister-in-law, plus the most well-behaved dog on the planet, Count Chocula), and we had a fabulous dinner and a great Christmas.
Being from Ohio, we’ve come to expect a little blustery, chilly, snowy weather in December. Well, here it is, December 10, and it’s 75 degrees and sunny here in western North Carolina. We saw snow on some of the Craggy Mountains above the town of Black Mountain over Thanksgiving and we were sure that more of the white stuff was on its way to us. But we’ve been pleasantly surprised by the pleasantly warm weather. We have the windows open today, which seems bizarre for us northerners.
The beginning of December has been more exciting than we had anticipated. At around 6am this morning, Brigette was fast asleep with a couple of innpugs keeping her warm. Dave was in the office on the internet, reading up on the soapstone wood stoves that we have in the house. [As an aside, Dave is a morning person… Brigette, ehh, not so much].
