After our excitement, we dropped Robert off at home where he calmly watched football. Carol and I took off and I showed her around Asheville. We were still traumatized by our near-death experience so we ended up at the Grove Park Inn to watch the sunset and get Carol that drink she needed.

Monday, Bill & Kent were able to tear themselves away from the MLK festivities at Bobbie's and came to Asheville to spend the night at our house. Unfortunately, Carol had to leave so we all took her to the airport. I offered to get her a taxi in case she was too afraid to get in the car with Robert but she overcame her fears and got in. After saying good-bye to Carol we went on to Creston to show Bill & Kent the progress on the house. They hadn't seen it since we first broke ground. Robert agreed to stop at the bottom of our road, assess the ice situation, and let everyone have the option to get out before driving up. We could tell it had been salted but we all got out and walked up which wasn't easy since it was still very icy. We had to walk up the side of the road pounding holes in the ice with our heels. I went last so I just had to follow in Bill & Kents footsteps. Once we got to the top it was nice and sunny and some of the snow had melted in the driveway. All of the building materials were still frozen and the floor inside the house was like an ice rink. We weren't looking forward to walking back down the hill and were looking around for a piece of drywall or cardboard to all pile on and slide down but couldn't find anything. We just re-traced our steps and went down slowly.
