Asheville Visit, March 10, 11, 12

   We drove from Camden to Asheville in time to pick Sage up from her elementary school in Leicester. (Grade 2) Her school is in the hills with cows and horses across the street with great views.

   We checked into the Homewood Suites. It was quite expensive and also under construction. But, it was a nice room with a separate bedroom for us and a pull out couch for Sage. It also had a little kitchen. Mostly, she loved the pool! After a nice swim, we went to dinner at a pizza place.

Then - more pool!
    The next morning, we took her to her TaiKwanDo class. She's been signing up for a month, but it was only her second class as she has been sick with pneumonia. We were very impressed by the class with its emphasis on respect.

    After that, we went back for more swimming! We had a late lunch at the Cracker Barrel and then we took her show shopping.

We bought her some Nike sneakers and a pair of glittery small heels. Then - back to the pool!  She met two 9 year olds from Dallas and played with them in the pool for over 2 hours. She had a blast.

    The weather is forecasting a big blizzard. Because Sherah is working and we don't really have the time to take her to her other grandmother's in Hendersonville, Sherah sent Isis and her boyfriend to pick her up around 9 p.m. Sage was sad to leave, but it really only cut her off from tomorrow's breakfast, so...it just had to be.
    We were able to Skype with Nick twice and Liz once which was nice, too.
