President Obama and First Lady Visit Asheville

The President and First Lady arrived in Asheville yesterday for a weekend of what the Asheville Citizen Times described as "eating, hiking and golfing". The video on the sidebar was taken at 2:11 pm yesterday from the Starbucks on Charlotte Street from where I viewed the President's motorcade. The motorcade had just left I-240 and was heading north on Charlotte Street to the Grove Park Inn and Spa, where the Obama's are staying.  The Obama's are apparently having an active vacation; they have already stopped by 12 Bones Smokehouse for a meal of ribs, hiked on the Parkway and golfed some. I was told by a friend at the Grove Park Inn that then candidate Obama had said, while visiting last in the Fall of 2008, that he would like to visit the Inn and Asheville again - apparently he meant it.  Welcome back Mr. President! Presidential visits - apparently just another aspect of life when Living in Asheville, North Carolina.
