Scott and I are headed to Asheville, North Carolina this weekend for a quick get-away and to visit his grandparents. Asheville is one of our favorite spots and it's so convienient to travel to from Birmingham. And we've always said that if we lived anywhere else in the Southeast US, it would be Asheville. So, that got me thinking about what I would do if I moved to a different city. Just for fun, here's my plan for a couple different places!
Asheville, NC
I would get a job at the Biltmore Estate, "America's Largest Private Home" (AKA-Castle)
I could be a hostess and welcome people on their visit and tell fun, historical facts. I love history and I love the Biltmore. Its amazing and you should visit one day!
And I would insist upon wearing a period Victorian costume to work. Something like this:
Because I am that ridiculous...
But seriously, I would probably apply to work in one of downtown Asheville's chocolate shops. Our favorite is The Chocolate Fetish! They make fabulous European-style artisan truffles and chocolates. Heaven. May favorite truffle is called Velvet Sin. So great I can't even describe it.
Or I could apply at The French Broad Chocolate Lounge, where they serve coffee only in French presses. How great is that?! They serve what they call Liquid Truffle Sipping Drinks...this is no ordinary hot chocolate!

Paris, France
Mais oui, I dream about living and working Paris one day because I am obsessed with that city and French culture. But what would I actually do if I do go to live in Paris?
Would it be acceptable to be a professional Francophile and Student of French Culture? I know I could study language, but what about walking around the lovely streets of Paris or sitting in cafes while wearing a scarf and beret? Will someone pay me to do that?

Or what about being a Professional Croissant & Cafe au Lait Taster?

C'est la vie...that certainly would be the life!
So what about you? Where do you dream of living and working (or not working!) ?

LOL! Love it. That sounds SOOO Ann Marie.
I'm personally pretty addicted to Birmingham, and the thought of moving gives me the shudders...but there are plenty of places that I could take an extended visit!
That croissant looks amazing, I can't wait to head out for my daily fix!
