While I’m writing this blog and looking at this photo, I can’t help but think: “What I wouldn’t give to be there right now!” I took this photo during my trip to the Biltmore Estate in Ashville, NC. I was having dinner on the outside terrace and I remember that evening well.  It was raining, I was wearing my favorite sneakers (since retired), reading a fun book and sipping a glass of wine.  (I love when you can have dinner or a glass of wine outside when it’s raining!) The smell of the wet lawn and spring flowers was strong and literally absorbed every stress in my body.  Yes, dinner when you’re traveling solo, can be a wonderful experience!
