More from Asheville

On Wednesday night Chris and I took advantage of being near family and went out on a date. After learning that our original plan closed to the public at 5 p.m. we modified and endedup at the Grove Park Inn to look around and decided to stay for dinner out on the patio. This was our view at dinner.
Proof that it was our view at dinner. :)

This was the drink menu. The drink called The Charleston was invented by Chris but we didn't patent or copywrite it (or whatever you do to claim an alcoholic beverage that was invented on New Years in at a certain Aussie steakhouse because they made a wrong drink that tasted like crap so we discovered that chasing/mixing it with tea was better). We have witnesses.

On Thursday we went to the Biltmore Estate and were the only ones brave (or dumb) enough to buy rooftop tour tickets in the middle of heavy rainstorms. Luckily it rained right up to the point we were supposed to go outside. It was so much fun to have a private tour and a fabulous tour guide who was fine letting Madelyn run around a bit and she took pictures of us on the roof.

She also told us about this secret little road that lets you get views like this.
I have a ton more pictures of the Biltmore Estate. Do you want to see them?

Where to start?

This is a welcome home sign that somebody put up on base. I'm sure the Marine recognizes himself in the picture as do all the Marines that know him. There is just so much wrong that I don't know where to start. Is this sign from a jealous girlfriend and wifey's on the bed of a pick-up truck on her way to Mexico to be sold into slavery? Is this sign from his brother who took "care" of wifey while he was deployed? Is this just a sign from the wifey who likes to advertise that she is lazy and fat and probably has cracker crumbs and bugs in the bed because this sign has been up for several weeks. I won't even get started on "the ice", like there's only one ice? I bet it melted really quick. Maybe it's on the ice in Alaska? Or on the ice on the boat that she bought with deployment money and is sailing around on with the brother? OK, it's making my brain hurt because it doesn't rhyme or flow. It's just a bunch of statements on ...

All Dressed Up!

It's All Dressed Up Wednesday with No Model Lady It's just a fun day for us to get dressed up and share it with the internets.  Today I did a little casual outfit that I've been thinking about for a while.  It's not super creative, but I LOVE this shirt and scarf combo.  Feeling pensive in the backyard. Feeling like a picture with heels sinking in the grass! This outfit was really all about the shoes.  Because it's always all about the shoes. This is how silly I felt posing in my backyard with a mirror propped against our glider bench. Shirt and scarf combo: Kohls Jeans: Levis skinny Shoes: Macy's clearance Earrings: Charlotte Russe Bracelet: a gift from my lovely Denise Did you play?  Wanna Play?  Head over to No Model Lady and link up!
