Biltmore Estate


It took me a while to get around to posting this, but while Allie was visiting in October we went to the Biltmore Estate. It is in Asheville, North Carolina, was built in 1895 by George Vanderbilt and I believe it is the largest private estate in the United States. It was incredible. We toured the enormous house (although we didn't get to see all 250 rooms, it was still pretty great) and strolled through the colorful gardens.
