Greetings From Asheville, North Carolina

Hello from The Biltmore Residence! (Do not be fooled...I'm not talking about the Biltmore Estates, that's the big one.  This is just a sort of shalait/hotel room/suite thing NEAR the big one.) We are in room 114, with a view of...trees and the street. Ah well! Over all, this is a really good room!  For one, it's really quite big!  When you walk in, you see a round table with four chairs (and place mats!) to your right, and a little living room with a stone fire-place (Flat screen on top!) and sofa chairs and a couch, to your left.  There is also a mini kitchen, including a big fridge, microwave, oven, sink and stove top. (And toaster and coffee-maker and cooking utensils and CUPBOARDS...) As you continue down the hallway (Oh yes, there is a HALLWAY) there are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, both equipped with queen (or king, if your a stinkin' adult) beds and nightstands and..um, oh yeah, FLAT SCREENS (aaaand DVD player) But you want to know the best part of all?  The soap.  The soap, comes out of the package, WITHOUT a center. Its like a ring of soap with a big hole in the middle!  It's supposed to avoid wasting the middle of the soap which most people don't use and throw out because it's too small.  So no middle means no waste!  Isn't that cool!?  Come on, you have to admit, that's pretty cool.  The package was also made out of recycled stuff too, in case you were wondering.
Anyway, yesterday we left at 8:30 a.m. for my orthodontist appointment, (who graciously changed my wires and induced pain in my mouth) and then we hit the road! Everything was going great until we crossed the border...into Tennessee.  For all of you who do not have a U.S map in front of you, Tennessee is a bordering state of Virginia...but so is North Carolina, so we really shouldn't have gone through it.  It was actually quite funny. 
Once we were in the right state, we drove to Asheville, and checked into our hotel.  After settling in, we went out for dinner, which we reserved for 7:45 at The Corner Kitchen, the best restaurant in Asheville.  I had the meatloaf, but the best was desert...Amy's Own Key Lime Tart.  I've always wanted to try Key Lime pie, so I was like: OMG
And soon I was like: *burp
It was very good. Very. Good.
Then we returned to our room, for some relaxation in front of the t.v. (Sounds like home!)
Today we are going to tour the outside of the Biltmore Estate and such.  The weather is supposed to reach 47 degrees Fahrenheit, so it should be comfortable, considering there's snow on the ground.  We are now about to have breakfast, (My dad went out and got us flavored bagels and stuff...) and then we'll get ready to go out.
So goodbye for now, but I'll be baaack!

Love,
Danielle
