Last month Thanksgiving marked the beginning of the busiest traveling times of the year. I know that my family does a lot of travelling throughout November and December. The only downfall to travel this time of year would have to be the added stress from the holidays and traveling being piled up into one. While we all are glad to get out and see friends, family, and loved ones stress is never fun. Not only is it necessary to remember all the things that you need for your trip, but you might be bringing along gifts, and you might have to deal with all the drama at the airport too.

There is just something about the time of year when the weather starts cooling off that puts me in a cheerful mood. Autumn brings so many wonderful things along with it. Some of those things include pumpkin spice lattes, warm sweaters, and fires in the fire place. The thing that comes along with fall that is my very favorite is the fact that the leaves begin changing color. There is nothing prettier than taking a Sunday drive looking at all of the leaves brightly hued in oranges, reds, and yellows. A great place to do this is in Asheville, North Carolina. In the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina is where you will find the beautiful town of Asheville.
