Hello from Asheville, North Carolina. We left Jekyll Island early Saturday morning. Before leaving, we had one last view of the dogwoods and azaleas that were in bloom. Our drive took us over the beautiful Brunswick Bridge to I-95 North to I-26, which took us near Columbia, South Carolina. We spent Saturday night at Lexington.

Welcome to South Carolina
Wisteria at the campground where we spent one night in Lexington.
On Sunday morning we continued on our drive along I-26 to Asheville, North Carolina.
Along the way the odometer in our Unity turned over at the 5,000 mile mark.
Hello North Carolina
Mountains lie ahead.
Along the way, we stop for PB and J at a roadside park.
Spring is definitely here with the beautiful buds on the trees.

We arrived in Asheville with plenty of time to make arrangements for PickleBall games in the area.
We found a very friendly group that play indoors, a first for us. Roger and I played twice this week.
On Tuesday, we toured the Biltmore Estate. George W. Vanderbilt built this incredible home in the late 1880's. There are more than 250 rooms in the mansion and we were able to see 60 of them. This is the largest home in the United States that is privately owned. Vanderbilt's daughter, Cornelia, married John Cecil. Their descendants own and run this beautiful estate.
We enjoyed our four nights in Asheville. We had lots of rain to work our sightseeing around. Indoor PickleBall was one way to do that. We leave for Terrel, North Carolina on Thursday morning. We are looking forward to seeing friends in the area before we head to Damascus, Virginia to see Roger's brother and his family. Thank you for checking in with us.
