Dell and I, however, will be missing out on the Crawfish Festival this weekend because we are packing up and heading to ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA! We are both super excited as neither one of us have been there before. It's only about a two and half to three hour drive from Columbia, so we figured it would be the perfect little weekend getaway to celebrate our three year anniversary. If you don't know much about Asheville, its a small little town tucked away at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, and is booming with culture, music, delicious food and craft beer. I'll be sure to share our pictures and adventures from the trip next week!
