Imagine standing and basking in all the glory that is the largest private home in the United States. The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC is majestic and huge to say the least. Taking a romantic road trip to North Carolina, Roswell and I simply enjoyed each other’s company. Tours of the home with over 240 rooms, wine tastings, dinner, gardens, etc. It was great. That was all day one!
The second day was spent exploring all that is Asheville. We visited downtown where we saw Occupy Asheville members dressed in red dresses and throwing chalk around the city…in below freezing weather! Then we stopped at a quaint little shop called The Chocolate Lounge—it was kind of a mix between Starbucks, Tasty World, and Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. We also braved the weather and decided to eat at a local seafood restaurant. It was delicious and the food was home-grown. We’ll make local places a part of our vacation regimen now.
The cap off a chill weekend, we got snowed in at the hotel…it was awesome. Luckily the hotel had a restaurant, pool, Jacuzzi, etc. It eventually cleared up and we headed home. It was great….if you get the chance, check out Asheville.
Much more could be said, but we’ll let the pictures do the talking!
Extremely nice get-away. The house, the town, the sky all made me proud to see them in person but my company was the best part.
