Adult vacationing.

I slept until 9:30 yesterday and 8:30 today.   I feel like a totally new human. The daily 4:45 grind has caught up to me. I am SO looking forward to these next few days to literally do nothing. I used to die for vacations to go site see and stay busy...now I really just like eating and sleeping. I don't see anything wrong with that....

Eric and I are on our 3rd annual Asheville, NC Christmas trip. If you are looking for an amazing city to travel to...seriously do Asheville. There is so much to do and see and more importantly the food and drinks here are absolutely amazing. To me it's like a giant Cincinnati OTR. There are dozens of options: microbreweries, organic, farm to table, vegan...donuts, coffee I mean anything you could want. Last night we checked out a freaking FAB restaurant called Limones(http://limonesrestaurant.com). With a Hispanic flare, they had so many yummy options. We started with to die for lobster nachos, and margaritas (I had a pomegranate and Eric had peach-chipotle). For the main course I totally stuffed my face with roasted mushrooms-goat cheese chile relleno. Eric had Epazote-cilantro Shrimp Albondigas which were basically ridiculous, giant shrimp meat balls. So. Freaking. Good.

Definitely a cheat weekend and definitely worth it. When you work hard, it's okay to indulge. Live life. Eat mac and cheese.
