2/101 -- Visit the Biltmore Estate

After living in North Carolina for over 5 years AND having made countless trips to Asheville to visit my husband's family, I finally made it to Biltmore for the first time this weekend. I have always wanted to go at Christmas, but it was really fun and I'm so glad we got to go.

We spent a wonderful long weekend (Thursday--Monday) up in the mountains enjoying the cooler weather with the company of our good friends. We all went to the Biltmore house on Friday and had a wonderful time. We saw the house, went to the winery (another 101 goal!), and had lunch at one of the restaurants there. It was a gorgeous day and really interesting. The house was amazing. The history behind it is really awesome as well as the architecture. How cool it must have been to grow up there! You should see the size of the indoor pool! The rooms and hallways seemed to go on forever. Hide and seek would have been AWESOME.

I would like to go back one Christmas and just see everything lit up. I hear it's amazing. Photography is not allowed inside the house, but here is a shot from the outside.
