I really need to post in a more regulated time period… It’s become so easy to slack off, and then have TONS of things to post. Along the way, I forget to write about half of them… here’s a post that’s a few weeks late:

A few weeks ago, we went to the Western NC Barbeque Festival. We stayed at Bettina’s old house in Asheville. We had a chance to try out our Polar pod mummy sleeping bags. Warm and toasty, and hard to get up in the morning.

The festival was a lot of fun – just like you’d expect it if you ever watched those BBQ cook-offs on the food channel. We watched the BBQ competitors carefully painting and plating their offerings, and running to the submission table at the last second. We especially enjoyed the after-competition free cue to go around. YUM!

After the festival, we “gambled” at Harrah’s casino in Cherokee. My personal favorite was the video World Poker Tournament video poker game. I made it into the video tournament once. I lost twelve dollars in two hours.

On Sunday morning we went to Early girl eatery on Wall St. in downtown Asheville. It was very good, but not as good as Tupelo honey I had a Three-mushroom omelet and a $4 rocks glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Overall, that was a very pleasant weekend! See our pictures here.

I also FINALLY posted our honeymoon pictures on my Digital gallery.
