More Biltmore pics

Here is my traditional self-portrait and pic of mom and Betty.

Biltmore day two

Another beautiful day.  We made it to the estate a little after 10am.  There was a long line of cars to get in.  It occurred to is that there might be special Easter events.  And there were.  An Easter egg roll on the front lawn.  The estate has no problem handling large gatherings.

Pictures are not allowed inside the mansion/castle.  Needless to say it is incredible and get difficult to describe.  The thrill for Betty was an opportunity to ride the elevator.  It was really because a nice docent asked mom if she would prefer a ride down instead of the long staircase.

Biltmore day one

I kind of messed up the times for touring and tea.  The original plan was to tour the house on day one and have tea in the afternoon.

We arrived too late to do both.  So we had tea at the Inn and toured the gardens in the afternoon.
