Sick, sick, sick
You know, there are advantages and disadvantages to visiting the South in early spring. Advantage: everything’s getting green and flowers are starting to bloom. Disadvantage: everything’s getting green and flowers are starting to bloom. My allergies tell me that spring has definitely come to Georgia, and boy, am I suffering. We made it to Georgia Monday night, and Tuesday was okay, but by Tuesday night I could feel it coming on. You know, that little tickle in the back of the throat that says your lymph nodes are about to swell to the size of grapefruits, and you’d better stock up on Sudafed and Kleenex? Yep. That one. Needless to say, I woke up Wednesday morning with the crud. Today I was actually able to leave the house and have lunch with my dad, but with only tomorrow left of my vacation I can honestly say that allergies SUCK. Oh, and joy of joys, I’ll get to go through it all again in a few weeks when spring finally hits Indiana! I can hardly wait.

Or, Day 31+1. I made it to southeast Georgia after a stop in Asheville, NC to spend the day at the Biltmore Estate. Mom and I have been talking about visiting there for at least the last four years, so we decided to do it this year. It was gorgeous, but terribly overpriced. I would have liked to have taken one of the special tours, but we barely had time to do the house, eat lunch and shop a little, visit the conservatory, and end up at the winery. I think we started our day on the estate at 10am, and we didn’t leave until almost 5pm.

I especially loved the winery… I came home with a bottle of Viognier, a bottle of Chenin Blanc (I could really taste the pineapple!), and a bottle of a special wine called Festival of Flowers. Mmm, good.

On the road… Headed to southeast Georgia for the week. Hope the weather gets better as we go, ’cause this rain is pretty crappy.
