Meg Travis-Carr: Meg, Joey, and Noodle vs. Asheville - Part IV - Asheville, Black Mountain, aaannnnddd...... St. Louis!

Ok, LAST leg of this adventure... I promise :). During the downhill slope of our Spring Break trip, we went into Asheville a couple more times to cruise the neighborhoods, walk around and become familiar with downtown, and check out some awesome eats! We also went to explore Black Mountain, a small town near Asheville, and cozied up to our area near our little cabin a bit more for good measure.

Headed back home. We stopped in Nashville so that Joey could participate in our friend Greg's bachelor party. Noodle and I got a night to ourselves, and Joey and the guys did what they do best, drank whiskey and caused a ruckus ;) ...

After jumping from Joey and I's vehicle and into my brother's car, I was off to St. Louis to meet my brand spanking new nephew, Max!!!

My beautiful sister, Lindsey, and beautiful little Max...
