So I was supposed to go online last night in Hendersonville, but I had to go buy a new camera cause mine got ruined when Ellen put an open water bottle in my purse and everything got soaked, so. I am now in Stephen's City, Virginia in a Holiday Inn with blessed, blessed internet.

I'd only been to Fayetteville in NC before, so I was amazed at how beautiful the mountains are here. I've never really been a fan of them, seeing as I'm a Florida girl, but holy god were the two mountain ranges gorgeous. And the sunsets! The colors of the sky with the clouds over the peaks- it was breathtaking. So I took lots of pictures.

We also went to this cool place called the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, which is this beautiful castle constructed by one of the Vanderbilts. I got some faaaabulous pictures of the mountains and the outside of the house and the grounds.

Mrs Hoppe also taught me how to crochet! And I'm pretty good at it so far. I'm not doing anything too difficult or anything, but for me to learn anything that requires more dexterity than typing is a challenge, so I'm proud.

We have about seven more hours and 421 miles of driving until we reach NY, and after today's stress (I am an awesome navigator, but the Blue Ridge Parkway effed us over big time with their detours) I cannot wait to just arrive and have no where further to go than Saratoga.
