A Hop, Skip and a Jump
The last 2 weekends I have gone on road trips to Nashville and Lexington, KY. Each trip was approximately 4 and a half hours via car from Asheville. Definitely doable for a 48 hour trip to some fun destinations. Nashville was a college reunion with my floor mates from Brumby dorm at the University of Georgia. Even though we hadn’t seen each other in years, we picked back up like we had seen each other yesterday. We rented an Airbnb in East Nashville and ventured to The Gulch and Broadway for some live country music.
This past weekend I took my 10 year old son to the University of Kentucky for his first big arena basketball game. The building was packed and they beat the University of Tennessee. We hit up a bowling alley downtown, the hotel pool and drove through the college campus.
One of the great things about Asheville is that it is 3 hours from Atlanta, 3.5 hours from Charleston, 4.5 hours from Nashville and Lexington, KY.

Sailing Take Me Away
Last weekend I hopped on a direct flight from Asheville to Chicago Midway on Allegiant Airline. I love that we now have direct flights to some of my favorite cities (Boston, NYC, DC, Chicago, Denver, Austin, Miami etc). Travel is incredibly easy out of the Asheville airport.
I traveled with 3 of my cousins to visit another cousin that lives in the Lincoln Park neighborhood in Chicago. We chartered a sailboat on a gorgeous fall day and cruised around the downtown area of Lake Michigan. What a great way to see the city.
Aside from shopping, we hit up a show at Second City, walked around the waterfront downtown, tested our golf skills at Top Golf and laughed and laughed. I even met a potential client along the way.
Fabulous weekend!

Paris
I had the best time taking my 14 year old daughter to Paris for a week in June. It felt great to travel and to get to spend some quality time with my main girl. We met my college roommate and her daughter and stayed in an Airbnb by the Louvre. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. The weather was perfect with blue sky’s and not hot. Every morning, Elizabeth and I would run down the Seine to the Eiffle tower and back. We tried to do one touristy thing a day so that the girls weren’t worn out. It was Fashion Week and the Solstice so the city was alive with music and entertainment. Can Asheville Realty Group set up and office in Paris?
