Grace's Vacation in Asheville

For my summer break, I headed home to Asheville, NC and my mom decided it was time we became tourists in our newest hometown.

I flew home early Saturday, like left my apartment at 4:15 am early, but this meant I got in just in time for breakfast! We stopped at one of my favorite restaurants, Tupelo Honey, for a yummy breakfast!

Breakfast doesn't get much better than blueberry french toast!

My mom made sure to keep me busy while I was home for the week, but she was kind enough to give me Saturday to rest! Sunday, though she kicked my dad and I out to go float down the French Broad River. We were both very excited about this, until we realized that the water level was low which meant the river was flowing slower than normal. This meant that our 2 hour trip became close to 4! Oh well, lesson learned.

We also did Lazoom Comedy Tour one evening. It was a great way to spend an evening laughing and even learning a little bit about Asheville! We also finally learned about the male Nun we see riding a bike around downtown! He is an ongoing story line for Lazoom!

And what's a bus tour without a selfie! 

I also managed to convince Kimmie to go zip lining, and she did amazing!! She only chickened out at every zipline, but she made it! Wootwoot! (No selfie was taken due to Kimberly's request...she was too stressed to smile)

We also spent one very hot afternoon painting pottery! It's almost as fun as adult coloring books, but way more stressful!

My Mom's

And mine!

Our final activity and probably my favorite, was the High Roller Food Tour of Asheville. This was a walking food tour of 8 different restaurants with a small bite to eat at each! The food was divine and usually we were able to speak with the Chef! It as a great way to learn more about Asheville and the restaurants it offers!

Although, I loved being busy and having a different exciting activity each day, my favorite part was just being home! It was nice to sleep in my own bed and have someone make me chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast! Also, it was nice to see this big guy before he had his little haircut mishap.
