Asheville, North Carolina

It is absolutely beautiful in North Carolina, especially in the fall.  We landed at a big airport in Raleigh, North Carolina--in an area of the world they call the "Research Triangle."  There are three main cities that all contribute to research medicine and technology: Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill.  We didn't spend much time here, though, because Maika and her husband Scott were headed on vacation in a place called Asheville.

Asheville is a 4-hour drive west of Raleigh.  The drive was beautiful, because the leaves were changing all kinds of bright colors and it smelled like crisp apples in the air.  (I know this, because unlike my bear friends, I truly enjoy a good apple cider.)

We visited the Biltmore Estate, the largest home in America!
