Julie's birthday at the Grove Park Inn

Julie and I went to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC to celebrate her birthday (29th I think). We love the inn, but normally try to time it for late October when the leaves are changing. This time we did it around her birthday and Thanksgiving.

The visit was wonderful. They have a magnificant spa where we each got a massage and hung out in the hot tubs which include huge cascading waterfalls. They have a very nice gym with weights, tennis, raquetball, a pool and more. The weather went from snowing to gorgeous sunny days. Quite the mix.

Of course, we did the incredible Thanksgiving buffett. They had all the traditional offerings plus so much more. Having lifted weights in the morning and gone for a long walk in the afternoon, I don't think I gained more than three pounds at that meal.
