Biltmore Estate

Posted by Picasa


We had a major snowstorm this past weekend. There was 10 inches of snow at my house- snowfall totals of up to 17 inches were reported in Asheville. I've never seen the Biltmore House with snow on the ground - a totally different but gorgeous perspective!

Biltmore Estate

I am very fortunate to live 5 minutes from the Biltmore Estate - America's private largest residence. This is a great place to visit any time of the year. Not only do they change things in the house each season, but the property itself is amazing. There are various gardens that highlight the flowers and plants of the season. There is an award winning winery and have daily wine tastings (yum)! I went there yesterday and although the gardens were pretty bare due to the cold weather, there were beautiful plants in the greenhouses.
