Our first stop was in America's most liveable city. Some may claim that it is the WORLD'S most liveable city, but that's purely anecdotal and certainly not a scientific conclusion. With each visit, we're having a harder time disagreeing that Pittsburgh, PA is a damn good place to be.We hung out with Kristin (kate's best friend from college) and Doug and their awesome dog Molly AND we got to meet Mairin! We instantly fell in love with Mairin...who couldn't fall in love with a super cute baby who smiles upon waking up, who makes fun noises, who sleeps at night on a schedule, and who does yoga? Yeah, we couldn't resist.

Then we drove south to Asheville, NC to see Shaun and Jessie (newlyweds!). We stopped at a winery in West Virginia along the way. When tasting the wine, Kate and I found ourselves using adjectives like "fermented cabbage" and "Kim-chi" and "essence of roasted turds." It was like some terrible joke the winery was playing on us as they didn't have a discard pitcher, so we HAD to drink the tasting. In conclusion, West Virginia should stick with white water.

Who knew a place like Asheville existed below the Mason-Dixon? A haven of hippies and liberal folk who appreciate a clear sky full of stars and the sound of crickets at night. We had a blast sippin' on the champagne of beers, shootin' the breeze with some great friends, and enjoying the cool summer night.We're off to Nashville in about a half-hour...

The circus goes to Asheville. :) I remember it being pretty darn cool.
Actually, the only thing I really remember about Asheville was a circus groupie that we picked up there. She was cool too. :)
Well written article.
