The Vanderpools embarked on a whirlwind 3-night weekend escape from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to the enchanting landscapes of Asheville, North Carolina. Our family had a delightful journey filled with brewery joys, wildlife wonders, Biltmore magic, snow tubing laughter, and unforgettable family moments.
After touching down in Asheville, our first stop was Sierra Nevada Brewery. Imagine delicious drinks, a cozy dinner, and a play area for the kids that made our hearts smile. We then checked into the luxurious Grand Bohemian Hotel, where they welcomed us with open arms and a little bubbly for the grown-ups and the cutest stuffed animal boars for the kids.
The next morning started with a scrumptious hotel breakfast, followed by a visit to the Nature Center, where we met adorable red pandas. We cozied up with hot chocolates at a French bakery downtown before diving into the two-day Biltmore adventure, exploring gardens, playgrounds, and enjoying a family lunch at Cedrics. After discovering the Biltmore cellar, we headed back to downtown. We found the coolest spot to play board games, and enjoyed savoring BBQ at a local spot made for a delightful evening that both the kids and us adults loved.
Sunday morning after a delicious breakfast at the hotel we headed for more family-friendly fun continued with snow tubing in Mars Hill (kids are free), followed by a breathtaking visit to Pisgah National Forest waterfall. We unwound with a Mexican lunch downtown, explored Biltmore gardens, and explored more of the Biltmore farm and playground, treating the family to ice cream. Later, we enjoyed a relaxing hotel break before a laid-back evening at Mellow Mushroom.
A final breakfast at the hotel preceded a swift return to the airport, concluding our unforgettable weekend. From brewery delights to wildlife wonders and Biltmore exploration, our Asheville adventure was a perfect mix of family fun. 10/10 I recommend taking Allegiant non-stop flights!
