After leaving Wilmington on December 30, our Nissan caravan headed into the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina! The beach is beautiful, but I'm 100% a mountain girl at heart. As we drove closer and closer, and could see shape in the distance, I got so excited and couldn't stop staring. We got into Asheville [...]
