Florence's Asheville Weekend

Florence and her best friend Bean are looking for a weekend of mixed outdoors and downtown activities. They meet up for coffee and a light breakfast at Early Girl Eatery before looking up a few trails on the Blue Ridge Parkway. They decide on a moderate hike on the Craggy Gardens trail and head off to view the mountains. They take a detour to Black Mountain after their hike and grab some tasty biscuits at Blue Ridge Biscuit Company. 

After lunch, Florence and Bean go to wash up in their cozy cabin at Asheville River Cabins. They decide to go downtown early after a leisurely stroll along the river bank. Their first stop downtown is the Asheville Art Museum, followed by some shopping in the cute boutiques and vintage shops. For dinner they decide on Table, full of local fare and crafted cocktails. Some after-dinner entertainment is in order so they head to Off the Wagon Piano bar. Before calling it a night, they decide to visit Crave for some decadent sweets. 

Florence and Bean wake up a little later after their late night and treat themselves to some coffee overlooking the French Broad River from their river front porch. Today, they opt for a longer hike, up to Mount Mitchell, highest summit east of the Mississippi. To relax from their long hike, they lounge in their private hot tub beside their cabin. Feeling hungry, they decide on tapas for dinner and head over to Cúrate. Knowing they have to leave early in the morning, they mill around downtown for a bit before heading back to their cabin for a good night’s sleep.
