Asheville, North Carolina


Grandma came to visit from Seattle so we decided to be adventurous and take a road trip. We drove from home to Asheville North Carolina. We stopped at the beautiful Biltmore Estate. This home is the largest in the U.S. It was built by the Vanderbilt family in 1889, completed in 1895. This mansion has 250 rooms..we saw 50. It was breathtaking, there are little words to describe what we saw. The house has a bowling alley, swimming pool and gymnasium. It had all of today's ammenities as we do today. Pretty remarkable for when it was constructed. It houses priceless art work and wall threaded with 24k. gold leaf. I bet this house has nothing on the mansions that Jesus is preparing for us...what a thought.
