                       Brevard III: Season of the Leaf

Ah, nothing like visiting Transylvania [1] during Hallowe'en [2]. Bat
country. Gotta love it.

This is our third attempt at visiting Brevard, NC [3] to see the autumn
colors. Our first attempt was about two weeks early. The second attempt was
about a week late. Hopefully, this time we've timed it right.

The problem with the autumn colors is that they are very dependent upon the
weather leading up to Peak Leaf Season. It also depends on how north you are
and how high up you are. But I picked this week, and hopefully, it'll be just
right.

We left early this morning for the twelve hour drive to Brevard. The only
downside to the entire trip was lunch at the Western Sizzler [4] just outside
Savannah, Georgia [5]. I ordered a cheeseburger medium rare, not steak
tartare au fromage on a bun. Bunny's food was seriously underseasoned. Even
the salt was underseasoned. Not a pleasant experience.

We finally arrived at our destination, The Red House Inn [6]. Previously,
we've stayed at The Inn at Brevard [7] (on the opposite side of town) but
this time I felt it was time to shake things up and try a new place. The Inn
At Brevard gives off a definite 1900 period vibe, which is not a bad thing,
but The Red House Inn (built in 1851) is a bit more modern. The owners
welcomed us and when we told them the reason for our visit, they did say they
felt that Brevard was just breaking Peak Leaf Season. Perfect timing! Woot!

We were then shown to our suite I rented. It's about half the second floor,
with its own hallway, bedroom, bathroom, living room and private porch. It is
certainly worth its price. We dumped our bags, and headed out for dinner.
