Asheville

Took a trip over to Asheville on Friday night for Sara's BDay.  Sara, Sandra, Carla, MC, and myself went for the celebration.  We got a late start to the trip as people had to work and such so we ended up not getting there until about 8:45.  Luckily though, we made it in time to see the Asheville drum circle in Pritchard Park.  We had no clue what was going on at first.  Here is a little taste of what it was like (except much crazier since it was later at night).  Entertainment for days:
We ended up not eating dinner until about 10 due to long waits at every restaurant.  That was fine by me though.  We got to enjoy the Asheville scene a little more.  We ate dinner and indulged in some fine Asheville brews at Mayfel's restaurant.  It was some good stuff.  Kinda had a New Orleans flair to it.  Had some of the best fried green tomatoes I have ever eaten in my life.

After dinner we walked around a little more and then settled in at the Lexington Ave. Brewery for a little while.  LAB is one of many microbreweries in Asheville.  Asheville was voted BeerCity USA for 2010.  CHECK IT OUT if you don't believe me.  Goldmine for craft beer.  We stayed at LAB for about an hour and then decided it was time to head home.  Asheville is a really unique city.  I can't believe that I haven't spent more time there.  Lots of interesting stuff right in the heart of the mountains.  More time needs to be spent there, go check it out.
