Maya Angelou

As a Mother's Day gift, Chris brought me to Ashville, NC to a beautiful Bed and Breakfast yesterday. The name of it is White Gate Inn and Cottage.

We arrived yesterday evening at the 1889 home located in the heart of Ashville.
The place is so neat. All the old qualities are here yet very updated. In the sitting area was a huge player piano from 1905 that anyone was allowed to play. We were shown to our room, the newly built Maya Angelou Suite, and I was in awe.
It has a beautiful king size bed with 80 pillows, a flat screen tv hanging over a stone fire place and a view of nothing but gardens around us.
Chris' favorite part was the stand up shower with 6 shower heads. I think I liked the jacuzzi tub the best. We wanted to go to the infra-red sauna, but it was locked up by the time we got back from dinner... maybe next time.

This morning all the guests gathered in the dining room for a 3 course breakfast.
It started with a cup of fruits, next was some type of asparagus egg bake (like a quiche) and third was raspberry fluff with cool whip and chocolate sprinkles. It was good but very rich. Of course the coffee, tea and o.j. was yummo too!!! We talked with the 10 other guests and just chatted about where we're from and where we're going next on our trips. Of course, we're heading home, others where going to the Biltmore today.

We have to be out of here by 11AM. We're heading to the mall to meet up with Chris' parents to pick up our kiddos. They've been in NC since Sunday. What a treat!!!

If you ever need a getaway and can make the drive to Ashville, make a point to stay at the White Gate Inn and Cottage, you'll be glad you did.

I'll post pictures soon!!
