The trip continues.....







This morning we were up bright and early and headed to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. This is suppose to be the largest house in America and I believe it. It has over 30 bedrooms and 43 bathrooms. Wouldn't you hate to have to change the sheets and scrub the tubs! The house was magnificent. It is hard to believe that "real people" actually lived there. They also have magnificent gardens. We got our walk in for the day just walking through and around the grounds of this place.



After that we headed up the Blue Ridge Parkway for a couple of hours. The woods were filled with rhododendruns in bloom. The drive was breathtaking. We are staying the night in Boone, NC. We happened upon an outdoor theater production called The Horn of the West. It was put on by local people and college students. It was very well done and told the story of the struggles of early settlers.
