Thomas Wolfe Memorial, downtown Asheville. See the soft blue porch ceiling? It‘s a southern tradition. #fallbreak

Scochrane26 I toured that house on one of my trips to Asheville. 2y

britt_brooke @Scochrane26 This was on our last day and we didn‘t have time to go inside, but loved agreeing the facade. It‘s so pretty sitting there among modern buildings. 2y

Leftcoastzen Go back sometime, the little tour is great! 2y

britt_brooke @Leftcoastzen Will do!! 2y

Biltmore Estate: The Most Distinguished Private Place | John Morrill Bryan, Richard Morris Hunt

George Vanderbilt‘s personal library! The Biltmore Estate was just incredible. #fallbreak

Scochrane26 Did they tell you there‘s a private reading room off the library? It‘s used as something else, but that‘s where I would have been most days. 2y

JenReadsAlot I want to go there! 2y

britt_brooke @Scochrane26 We did the audio tour, and I don‘t recall it mentioning that, but that‘s where I‘d be, too! 2y

britt_brooke @JenReadsAlot The whole is estate is just beautiful; opulence to the extreme! 2y

LeahBergen Bucket list for me! 2y

HeatherBookNerd It‘s really something! 2y

britt_brooke @LeahBergen I hope you see it someday. It‘s incredible! 2y

britt_brooke @HeatherBookNerd Blew my mind! 2y

Scochrane26 @britt_brooke One of the staff members told me about the room last time during a conversation. I don‘t think I‘ve ever done the audio tour—probably should. It‘s always hard to decide what season to go in—Christmas is a popular time, but tulip season in the gardens is beautiful. 2y

batsy That looks incredible 😍 2y

britt_brooke @Scochrane26 They were *just* starting to decorate for Christmas while we were there (it was last month). I‘d love to see it fully decorated. 🤩 2y

britt_brooke @batsy Over 22,000 books, they say. 🤩 2y

Lcsmcat @britt_brooke It‘s amazing at Christmas! But @Scochrane26 is also right about the gardens. The azaleas alone are worth the trip. 2y

britt_brooke @Lcsmcat I LOVE azaleas! 2y

Highland Books | Brevard, NC (Bookstore)

Accidentally stumbled upon this adorable book shop in Brevard NC (near Asheville). Immediately fell in love with its beautiful ceiling and awesome owner! #fallbreak

Scochrane26 I haven‘t been to that one, but I love Sassafras in Black Mountain & of course, Malaprops. 2y

Tamra We loved that area - stayed at the state campground. 😁 2y

britt_brooke @Scochrane26 We‘ll have to check out the Black Mountain area next time! 2y

britt_brooke @Tamra It‘s so beautiful! 2y

AmyK1 I was just in Bravard last weekend! We went to Black Mountain too. Both adorable towns and want to go back again. (edited) 2y

Scochrane26 @britt_brooke Black Mountain has a coffee shop named The Dripolator & an amazing breakfast place- Blue Ridge Biscuit Company. You usually can‘t do everything there in one trip, esp the food since there‘s so many great restaurants. 2y

britt_brooke @Scochrane26 Thanks for the suggestions. Saving them! 2y

britt_brooke @BarkingMadRead I spent way too much money in there! 😅💸 2y

HeatherBookNerd Glad you had so much fun! 2y

Beautiful view while my girls played in the park and I enjoyed a mostly quiet moment to read my book! Fall is so beautiful on the Mississippi River! This park host a Civil War re-enactment this weekend my family hopes to attend!
