After racing in Wauconda, we came home to shower and pack the car. By late afternoon, we were headed on the road, with a destination for the night unknown for sure. We were hoping to get as far as we could, but also realizing that we were up early and might be quite tired come nightfall.
The kids quickly fell asleep for a nap (this is what we saw looking out our rear view mirror!)
and missed the awesome views of this never-ending windmill farm
but we excitedly drove until we stopped several hours later for dinner at the one and only Steak and Shake. Shake treats for everyone was actually quite a delight!
Downtown Asheville is know for being an artists community with an abundance of Local love from it's restaurants to its shops. We will come to find that we absolutely loved this area and our first stop at Early Girl Eatery was nothing but amazing! We sat down and the kids were treated with a bucket of toys (Brilliant!!!, seriously..so very cool!) and the menu was drool worthy. All local, organic, simple items that indeed tasted as they sounded. Wow..what a treat!
After lunch we walked around the downtown area for a bit. Knowing that we were coming back to this area at the end of our trip, we surveyed all of the town's offerings.
Back on the road we went, with our final destination, Charleston, South Carolina. Checking into the "S" hotel (MC dibbed the Sheraton as the "S" hotel :)), we headed for a quick bite to eat and landed back in our room for a good nights sleep.
All was well in our world and our vacation was off to a wonderful start!
