Roadtripping Through Asheville & Durham, NC

As mentioned in Tuesday's weekend recap, we made a long weekend of traveling down south to North Carolina to spend time visiting and celebrating with some of our good friends. Sunday, our friends Emily and Allison were hosting a baby shower for our friends Lindsay and Adam (you might remember them from here) who live in Durham, so we thought it would be a fun idea to make a weekend of it by driving down to Asheville first to catch up with Emily and J before we all headed back up to Durham for the shower.

Road Trip: Antiquing in North Carolina

On our road trip down to Asheville over the weekend, we decided to take the long route down so we could stop as we pleased at antique shops along the way. We love getting the chance to visit antique shops when we travel, because we always find unique bits of history to that locale — sometimes you will find much more of one type of thing versus another just depending on what region you're in. For example, on our way down to North Carolina, you may notice we saw much much more tobacco and cigarette related antiques since the area is known well for its tobacco fields.

Hittin the Road: Asheville, NC

Early Thursday morning we hit the road for a long weekend visit with some of our closest friends who live down in Asheville, North Carolina. You may remember me talking about Emily before here on the blog — she now lives in Asheville with J, her fiance, who also works at Etsy. All 3 of us used to live in NYC but have since moved back down South.
