Asheville is one of my favorite towns, and it is especially beautiful in October. We decided to first take a drive, do a little hiking, hit the Blue Ridge Parkway, and then spend the rest of the day playing in town. We set the GPS for Craggy Gardens, and followed the directions up a Forest Service road to the top of the mountain. While I typically am not fond of these types of roads, the drive was fairly easy and incredibly beautiful. 
The girls fell asleep in the backseat on the way up the mountain, so Phillip and I were able to take our time and stop along the way to make pictures and enjoy the scenery.
Snow had already fallen on top of the mountain, which made the drive even more special. Unfortunately, when we got to Craggy Gardens, we discovered it had been closed due to bear activity, so we made our way onto the Blue Ridge Parkway, and enjoyed another beautiful ride. To reward the girls for behaving so well while in the car, we decided to treat them to some playtime at the park.
We let the girls play for about an hour before we loaded them up and took them to get ice cream at the Asheville Mall, which will henceforth be known to Isabella not as the Asheville Mall, but the "Ice Cream Store." Days like this are why I love fall so much.
