2015 Western Trip - Asheville Visit and End of Trip!

We stopped by to visit with our folks in Asheville and attend the McCraw reunion.  Thanks Mom and Frank for putting up with us for the weekend!!  :-)

Sharon and Buddy joined us the the Sierra Nevada brewing company manufacturing plant in Mills River (adjacent to the Asheville Airport).

They give guided tours of the plant....but they were full.  So, we just did a self-guided walkthru.  (Even eavesdropped on a couple of the tour guides as we wandered.)

Amazing and clean facility!











They have a great restaurant -very popular!

I ordered a sampler of 4 different beers.....I'll have to admit that I didn't really find one I like.  My preference for boring Miller Light makes any of these beers seem much too "favorful"!!

The beer/cheese/pretzel appetizer was fabulous!



Next day we visited with Granny and Cordy - then went to the McCraw reunion. 




Nice to see everyone!  Ivory "holding court"....



Then the trip really was coming to an end - time to get back to  3 weeks of grass growing and a pile of mail!

Circled Siler City Airport to see how the paving is progressing.....not a lot of pavement yet!!!
