Papa’s World – Comedy bus tour LaZoom!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

On our recent trip to Ashville, N.C. – we booked a comedy tour – including a couple hours of driving and stopping all around Ashville – while being entertained by two comics!

Our tour guide and comic – put on a hilarious monologue – and would be joined by another comic at different stops all over town.

Each time he would get on in a different disguise and then at a stop – get back off!

The whole tour was fun – and these two were very good!

I do not know how he made it to stop to stop – and his different parts were in different voices!

We even stopped at a brewery for a bathroom break and could purchase a can of beer that could only be opened and drank on the bus!

The lobby of LaZoom Comedy Tour – very comfortable and they had drinks there to purchase!

The decorations were really outrageous – but also very comfortable.

At the brewery for our rest stop and Sherry with a very good craft beer.

PAPA’S WORLD – The Biltmore estate!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Sherry – standing in front of the 170,000 SF Biltmore estate in Ashville, N.C.

This is hard to imagine such a huge home but we toured the whole thing that we were allowed to see.

Room after room – floor after floor – bowling lanes – pool – workout area and bedrooms and bathrooms.

Today’s cost – I guess somewhere North of $200 million!

View from the back-covered patio porch that was a hundred feet long!

The estate today is a tourist destination with audio tours from room to room and floor to floor.

I would put this on a bucket list of something to see in your lifetime.

Sherry and I were inside – this area was the heart of the house – full of plants – trees and sunken down from the floor.

This was our second time being here – Thanks for reading PAPA’S WORLD – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog

Papa’s World – Siera Nevada Brewery-Ashville.

On a recent trip with our good friends Cindy and Buck – we scheduled a tour of the brewery –

Sierra Nevada – just outside Ashville, N.C.

Entrance to the lobby and what a sight to behold – really beautiful – well done!

The kitchen is to the left – the bar in the middle is serviced from all sides – and seating is all around.

You had over a dozen on-tap brews!

The draft beer list is on tap! We also had a beer tasting at the end of the tour.

From here you can see into the different rooms and some we were allowed to go into with the guide!

The hops room and as soon as I entered it smelled just like beer!

Five copper vats for each stage of brewing!

There were two of these vats for the final stage. Everything was so clean – their first brewery is in Chico, Calif.

We also could see the plant floor although it was past quitting time – all the cans and bottles were packed by hand – and the whole place was very clean.

We had a great tour and tasted four very good beers – one of which is only made for this brewery here for tasting – that was my favorite – a German brew!

Papa’s World – Washington National Cathedral – visit.

Good Morning

We journeyed into Georgetown –

and found our way into the parking garage

to emerge to a grand site to behold !

Washington National Cathedral

It had been damaged somewhat during a earthquake we experienced

in Northern Va.

But – it was restored although we could see ongoing work on the side.

Sherry and Paul

We arrived too late for the tours

Jo – Paul and Sherry
with a tour guide

But one of the guides gave us tips and instructions and directions !

We were able to explore on our own

and although we have been here a dozen times

we found areas thanks to him

that we had never been in !

One of the many chapels
Jo and Sherry

It is just beautiful inside – the floors – the wood work –

The many altars
So many chapels and altars
Paul – Jo -Sherry
Sherry lighting a candle
for a loved one

We even made it into the basement –

the crypts and more chapels that we had never seen.

Our retiring Pastor Joe – on the first Monday of every month

does a service here in the Cathedral.

Outside the children’s chapel
The altar
The gift shop
in the basement !

I had no idea there was a second gift shop

in the basement that actually does more business

than the one upstairs

as all the tours go thru there !

Although I did not capture a picture
we were able to take the elevator
to the seventh floor tower!

We took the elevator to the seventh floor

again I did not know we could do that

and for the first time we gazed around

Georgetown and DC.

Thank you for reading today’s blog.
