Back from Biltmore








Exhausted after a 2 day trip to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC and a quick visit to Cherokee. Took so many photos that I spent hours organizing and making galleries that I posted to Flickr. Hope you enjoy the journey as much as I did.

    What an amazing place. Another spot on the map I'll have to draw a big red circle around and then visit.

    Valerianna - it would be impossible not to take fantastic photos in this place:) Incredible that a man, wife and one child once called it home!

    Larry - not only is the Biltmore Estate lovely, but you are in the Appalachians, near the Blue Ridge Parkway flanked by the Smokies. In any direction - incredible views. GO!!!

    Aaron-Paul - well said!!! I likewise enjoy the glimpses of the UK that my friends here on blogger provide. I got to enjoy the Viking festival without leaving my house:)

    We are just 2 hours away from the Biltmore and I have never been. But I just saw a billboard today "Spring at the Biltmore" and hubby said, " We need to get over there!" So we are planning a trip for this month. I am going to visit your galleries.
