Blue Ridge Retreat
Four women on the go who met at the same Sweet 16 birthday party 30 years ago have managed to remain close friends and have stuck through everything together. They want to celebrate their 30 years of friendship by going to Asheville, N. C., for the weekend. They have many activities lined up, including visits to the Rivers Art District and the Biltmore Estates; and they end the weekend at a spa resort.
