This past week Mike's parents visited us in Spartanburg. We did a little tour around Greenville and the surrounding area and then we left. We had a crazy, week long trip planned for their visit and our first stop was Asheville, NC to visit the Biltmore House.
I hadn't been there since I was 12 and mike's family had never been there so I was so excited for them to see it! The Biltmore House is the largest in America. It is beautiful and amazing to see! It was built in the 1800's and opened on Christmas Eve 1895. The house covers 4 acres of living space and has 250 rooms. We spent a little over 2 hours touring the inside of the house and we didn't even get to see everything! Then we spent a while walking around the beautiful gardens and the stables that are now shops. Unfortunately you can't take any pictures of the inside of the house but the outside is gorgeous and we could take pictures of it to are hearts content.

| Those windows behind me are the grand staircase. Its spiral and goes up to the fourth floor. I want one! |

| These used to be the stables but they are now little shops which are really cute. |

We had a really good time visiting but Mike and I agree that we never need something this huge. Although I wouldn't mind having the library someday and Mike would love to have the banquet hall in our house with the pipe organ playing. Those two rooms and the staircase might be nice :)
Since we can't take pictures of the inside of the house ourselves, I went online to google and got some pictures of our favorite parts of the house for you guys to see :)

| Mike's favorite: Their is a pipe organ above on the other side of the room. |

| My favorite: This library reminds me of Beauty and the Beast :) |
