Well, I’m back home safe and sound. The girls and I had a great time and I was good for the most part. I did mess up on the way up, but I feel that I didn’t create too much of a problem with the scales because we walked and walked and walked and walked…… about 7-8 miles on Wednesday. I’m eager to see what the scales will say tomorrow.

If any of you live within a 100 mile radius of Asheville, NC it would serve you well to visit sometime. There are plenty of trails to walk, and the downtown area has some nifty shops, museums, and the like. My favorite…. Biltmore House. It’s a 250 room mansion built in the late 1800’s. It also has a winery(with a tasting room , an Inn ($$$), a couple of nice restaurants, walking trails and horse back riding. Be prepared to walk up and down stairs, through Looooooog corridors, and see the most breath taking skyline of the smokies.

 Anyway, enough of being your travel agent.  Here is something that may help some of you the next time you decide that you are ready for a vacation. Plan your meals ahead. I finally sat down Wednesday evening (after the Bacon Double cheeseburger incident) and chose an iternerary for the rest of our trip. I went on-line and located several restaurants we wanted to go to and checked out the menu ahead of time so I’d know what to order without having to decide at last minute. (I always feel rushed when the waitress comes and asks if we are ready to order and I haven’t made up my mind) The rest of our time on vacation went smoothly when it came to mealtimes. I hope this will help some of you out there that have problems with eating while on vacation.

 Have a lovely weekend… and get out and do something fun this weekend!
