Year 5 - Day 8


Checked out the Biltmore Estate today, which is about 20 miles from the campground. Wow – what a place! The ticket counters were lined up, and this place was packed! No photographs are allowed inside the home, so we got the guide book to reflect upon later.
 

Sam and James wanted to roll down the long hill in front of the estate, but only made it about 100 feet before they got dizzy - LOL!


This place was immense, and the grand scale was almost unfathomable. To imagine living is such a place, it is like living in a grand hotel. The staff required to maintain it is massive. We walked around the gardens, and that was about a three mile hike! After tiring ourselves out walking around the gardens outside, we drove by the farm and winery on the way out, but we were too tired to stop and go in. J
It is definitely worth the trip to see it all – stunning!
