We drove for 15 1/2 hours yesterday ... ok that's not quite right. We left Groton, MA at 7:50AM and arrived at our hotel in Asheville NC at 11:48PM. Some of that time was spent eating, putting gas in the car and pulling off at rest areas for pee stops.
495 --> 290 --> 90 --> 84 --> 81 to um... you know, a little bit of Tennessee and then North Carolina... it was late ;-) The last bit of that drive would have been pretty spectacular in the daylight, we're betting, cause there were a lot of hills and wind and sheer rock faces and twisty bits on the highway, but since we could not see past the headlights we had no idea what we were missing.
Anyway today we Did the Biltmore, and it was damn impressive. We're staying another night in this Asheville hotel since it's nice and we like it, and this way there is no rush, and tomorrow we're packing up and heading to New Orleans.
Breakfast this morning was at the Waffle House; DAMN good food, and one of the waitresses was named Misty Lee, just like our favorite Misty! I took a pic of them together... and posted it to Facebook. Most pics are ending up there. They'll be here later. ;-)
Tonight we're going to search for some good barbecue. Tomorrow, Louisiana!
