We flew into Atlanta, Georgia then made the drive east outside of Asheville.
It is so fun to see the other teachers for Landry every year and it is super encouraging for Chris.
We stayed in Pritchell Hall. It was a big, beautiful, totally 1970-80s building...
Ridgecrest is the biggest retreat center I've ever been to. It just seemed to go on forever! I walked for 20 minutes and didn't even see it all!
But they also had a system of trails up in the hills. We decided to do the hike up to Rattlesnake Summit for a 360 view of the area on Saturday before supper...
First we went by the lake...
The trail was REALLY steep!
There were hills all around and a pretty good view of just how big Ridgecrest is.
It took us a bit longer than we thought and we were becoming concerned about missing dinner.
While going up is hard, I HATE going down!
Thankfully, we made it in time to eat because we were pretty hungry!
After supper we went to the Talent Show and then headed in Asheville for beers at Twin Leaf Brewing and chocolate at French Broad Chocolates. Asheville is a hopping, happening place after dark. We met some nice people and enjoyed our beers and chocolate!
