~Sissy's Bachelorette in Asheville~


Well, our little one is already a fan of girls trips apparently – I felt her kick for the first time in our hotel in Asheville for my little sissy’s Bachelorette!  Such an incredible feeling!  Since then, she’s been super active, moving around all the time and doing little baby kicks whenever I’m sitting/laying down for an extended  period of time.  Patrick got to feel her yesterday too, which was pretty awesome… although he says he’s still waiting for the “kung fu karate kicks” lol.
our group Saturday night!
 

I’d only been to downtown Asheville once – the night after we got engaged for dinner.  It was a lot of fun to get to spend time with my sis and her friends and celebrate with shopping, some seriously AMAZING food, and just some good girl time!  For anyone heading there in the near future, I highly recommend:

Zambra – Spanish style restaurant – all tapas with a really fun drink menu.  We sat in this really great corner booth that was full of colored pillows to lean against while eating.
 
 
Curate – great lunch or afternoon snack spot – also tapas – we were on a girl trip and we LOVE all  tapas food, what can I say?  The bartender made me a great mocktail mojito and my sister loved her real cocktail as well.

Posana –  go here for brunch – the menu is entirely gluten free and you would never know… the bellini's looked delish and my decaf mocha was perfect… as was the fried chicken on top of cheesy grits… YUM.

Finally, do a factory tour of French Broad Chocolates – it really is so neat to hear this Asheville couple’s story of how they went from dropping out of law school to Costa Rica, learned the chocolate business, and are now Asheville’s premier chocolatiers – and yes you get to do a tasting ;)  Then head four blocks back into downtown to visit their chocolate bar…. An absolutely adorable little bar with a menu consisting entirely of chocolate, wine, desserts… in other words, it’s heaven.  It’s also crowded, expect to wait.  But the dark chocolate crème brulee is totally worth it!
