Recommended Posts

My wedding anniversary is approaching fast. Sept 3rd. I am looking for something close by that will be a fun place to take the wife. Dont have a lot of money to blow this year, so i am on a little bit of a budget. I have heard the mountains in NC are really nice. I havent been up there in a while. Anyone have any info or ideas of a good place to stay that will not cost an arm and a leg. Just looking for a weekend getaway really. Also if you have any other ideas about where we could go, could really use the help.

thanks!

I would look on LivingSocial or Groupon for trip deals.

I'd definitely postpone until leaf season, it's incredible up here during that time. The roads are a nightmare, but that's just because people are awestruck by the beauty. I live in Cashiers and there are plenty of B&Bs, a couple small motels and even a Hampton Inn nearby, so regardless of your lodging preferences you should be able to find something that fits. Lots of shopping if you're into that sort of thing, mainly though, if you like to hike there's a lot to be seen.

Just find a hotel in Asheville area. It's not blazing hot up there. Do Biltmore. Biltmore winery. Buy a massage for her at Grove Park or at the Biltmore spa. Good eats around there. If you want cheaper...lots of hiking up there and other cool stuff. Too hot/too crowded for beach for me right now.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
