Allison took me to see the Biltmore Mansion in Ashville NC. This is the mansion built by a member of the Vanderbilt family at the end of the 1800s. It had running water and electricity which is pretty remarkable for that time. On a more fun note is has one of the oldest bowling alleys and an indoor pool! The existing family still celebrates Christmas in the mansion.
The grounds were very pretty and reminded me of Tennessee a lot. Probably because its in the Appalachian Mountains. We had lunch in the stables (it's been converted to a restuarant). It was a fun day trip!
