Day trip to the Biltmore House

 Ashley LOVED all their beautiful flowers!  This is just outside the front door

 It is such a beautiful house and very modern for the time it was built-completed in 1895.  It is a very interesting place to visit!!!






 In the kitchen-they had a TON of dishes
 a dumbwaiter

 these beautiful handpainted ones with flowers were my favorites


 We took 2 special tours-the rooftop tour and behind the scenes-they allowed us to ask our tour guides questions and see parts of the house not on the regular tour














 amazing attention to detail




 a model of the house

 on the roof above the front the house
 our view from way up high



 we ate lunch in what used to be the horse stable
 in our own stall

 we did our self guided tour of the house





 Ashley was fascinated by the display of period movie costumes that was throughout the house

 the bowling alley
 and swimming pool
 one of the rooms of the kitchen
 billiard rooms
 and just a few pictures of the extensive gardens and greenhouse



 goodbye to the lion that guards the front door
