We have never been to Ashville either Kathy. Its not too far, maybe 6 hours or so from us. We keep talking about it and trying to work it in with a trip to Nashville or to the beach, buts its out of the way for all of those so we have just not done it. Sounds like we need to plan a specific trip there one of these days. I too hear its beautiful and especially the Biltomore Estate. (sorry everyone, not meaning to hijack the roll call, just making a comment).
