These are of the Biltmore House and some random shopping/eating. We couldn't photograph inside the house---good thing, or there would be a MILLION pictures!
These are the amazing Gardens. They were so expansive! We walked probably 2 miles on the trails. And the weather was just perfect. We also had English afternoon tea, which is near and dear to my heart!
This is the awesome Billy Graham Library. We saw Billy's childhood home, which included a 1920's-decorated kitchen, and Ruth's grave. Billy will be buried next to her, so it was moving to see it. Also, inside there was a part of the exhibit that recreated the Communist section of the Berlin Wall (it's the dark picture, and it may not show up). This really moved me, because you felt like you were actually THERE, and Billy was actually asked to preach!! It was an amazing victory for Christ, and I could just imagined the hope it brought those desolate people. And that was just ONE exhibit in the whole library!
On our last evening, we had our anniversary dinner at the Grove Park Inn. It was WONDERFUL! We ate on the Sunset Terrace, which was a beautiful view. We had actually celebrated my grandparents' 50th anniversary there two years ago, so it was neat to recreate it for us :o) They brought us Godiva chocolate mousse...yum!

now i can't wait to go back! thanks for sharing the pictures.
oh - and i understand what you mean about no cameras on the inside of the biltmore. i didn't have digital at that point and i would have gone through a million rolls on the inside of that house!
Great pics. Glad you had a good time!
Your pictures were great! I'm glad yall had such an amazing time!
Beautiful pictures! Sounds like a wonderful trip! What sweet memories!
The Biltmore looks amazing! It reminds me of History of Architecture class. While I was looking at the pictures, I kept hearing Dr. Glaze's voice...LOL!
I never got your e-mail. Rankin County has been cracking down on spam, so it may not have gone through. Send it to my personal account - aelisabeth2001@yahoo.com.
