In honor of our very first wedding anniversary (and by the way neither of us nor any of our friends can believe it's been an entire year already--wow), we took a special trip to visit Yaakov's old haunts in Asheville, NC. 'Twas a truly blessed weekend. Yaakov told me we were staying at the ghetto Days Inn, which I can understand because frankly, we're poor. Then he pulls up to an insanely gorgeous bed-and-breakfast and says "Welcome to the Days Inn." And I'm screaming OMG!!! like a 12 year old girl. It was absolutely beautiful. Double jacuzzi too. Amazing. We could afford it, he explained, because this place (Jewish-owned) does this thing called "Easy Giving Weekends," where the proceeds of your stay go straight to your favorite charity. And we need to give maaser anyway, so this was perfect. We had a great weekend, and the Save Darfur Coalition got a donation. Asheville. What a great little town.
