We spent most of today touring the famed Biltmore Estate, the largest privately owned home in America. Built in 1895 by George Vanderbilt for his family, the 250 room house sits on 8000 acres framed by the Blue Ridge Mountains. The day included a tour of the beautiful gardens, the shopping village and the winery where we enjoyed “tasting”. It is an incredible experience and is worth a few minutes of “googling” and a visit if you are ever in this area. Randi loves the afternoon T-storms and we’ve had a few, including today. We have been fortunate so far not to have had to drive in any.
