At the end of October, Jack had a soccer game scheduled in Asheville on a Sunday. The kids also happened to have that Monday off of school. So, we booked a dog-friendly house in Black Mountain for a nice 3-day weekend. Our first morning in Asheville was spent horseback riding on mountain trails outside of Asheville, a special activity that Jonathan had booked for us as a surprise (see Instagram post for pics of that). We also hit some breweries, ate at some nice restaurants (Curaté being the highlight), explored the shops in downtown Black Mountain, snuggled up on a snowy night at our little mountain townhome (yes, it snowed there at the end of October), and, of course, watched a soccer game. While it was a little chilly for the weekend we were in Asheville, the beginning of fall colors were just beautiful and we had clear, sunny weather on Sunday and Monday, so we had to get in a few hikes, especially for Olive’s (she didn’t come all this way for nothin’). On Sunday, we only had a little time sandwiched between Jack’s soccer game and reservations at Curaté, so we chose a relatively short (and easily accessed from the highway), but very scenic hike to a waterfall. Catawba Falls was a beautiful hike to a large waterfall.
