Biltmore Day (3X)

It was a very overcast day in Asheville with some rain and wind as well.  The temperatures were a bit cooler as well as the high only hit 70 degrees F and the low fell to 55 degrees F. The weather did not dampen our spirits though as we toured the Biltmore House and the Biltmore Estates. The trip was the first for my son and his fiancee, my third. Although it was my third trip through the Biltmore House, I still picked up new information about the place.  I just wonder how much this house and the furnishings are worth in today's dollars.  I would guess in the billions.
For the second day in a row gasoline was not required as my son drove his car.
The Biltmore House, the Gardens, Antler Hill Village, and the Inn on Biltmore Estates all made it a very enjoyable day.
Next up is the Blue Ridge Parkway toward Pisgah Mountain.  Let's hope the weather will cooperate.
Until then!
