Visiting Biltmore Estate

On Sunday, after Loren and Bobby's wedding, Hank and I visited the Biltmore Estate before heading home.  It is an astounding setting and beautiful home, one that truthful looks more like a castle, set in the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains.  It boasts 4 acres of floor space, 250 rooms, 34 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms and, during a time when very few people had electricity or running water, Biltmore house had both.  To say it was a sight to behold would be an understatement.
