Quickie Mountain Trip

The Fuzz was just hanging out here in the woods, puttering around in the shop while His Sweetie was visiting with a friend up near the mountains.

When she got back she had a proposition for him.

Since it was such a beautiful day, why didn't they ride up to Black Mountain, and spend the night?

She had been talking to another friend the day before who had recommended the "Red Rocker Inn" to her.  And with nothing else on the schedule this would be a great opportunity to get away for a quick mountain holiday.

Now The Fuzz has not been know for his spontaneity in the past, but he is trying to do better.  And after a little online investigation the idea began to grow on him.

So a phone call was made and a room was available.  So they hurriedly threw some clothes in their bags and took off.

When they got there they found it was a pretty nice place.

They checked in and had a look around.

And there really are "Red Rockers".

And there is a restaurant as well.

It looked pretty good.

But The Fuzz and His Sweetie already had other "dinner" plans.

They had stopped on the way into town and picked up a few things to snack on that evening...

Maybe next time.

Maybe for sure.

 They had a "light meal" with some bread, oil olives and a bit of cheese.

And of course the wine.

Then it was time to kick back a bit.

Until it was time to walk into town...

To the White Horse.

In their online investigations they had discovered that this evening, at the White Horse, would be jazz by
"The Asheville Art Trio".

They got there just in time to get a glass of wine for His Sweetie, and some of that Green Man Porter for The Fuzz.

Then it was time for the music.

It was excellant.

Then it was back to their room and bed.

The Red Rocker Inn is one of those Bed & Breakfast places.  And the breakfast was outstanding.

Later in the morning The Fuzz had a chance to wander around a bit with his camera.

The grounds are lovely too.

He saw this artist at work out there.

But it was time to check out now.

Since they were already so close, they had decided to go on into Asheville for some things they couldn't get at home.  That is one downside of living out in the woods.

Asheville is a Big City-

At least to The Fuzz.

But the skyline is nice.

Of course it's not New York or Chicago, but that's a good thing.

From the parking deck The Fuzz's Sweetie drew his attention to this nearby building.

You don't see much of this kind of detail on buildings these days.

And The Fuzz kinda liked this one also.

But now it was time to head back down the mountain, and home.
