I have an annual pass to the Biltmore Estate that expires soon, so last weekend we planned to go for a Sunday afternoon visit. I had a couple of vouchers for free tickets as well, so Brandon was able to get in for free as well as my dad (my mom has a pass, also). Originally we thought we would do a quick tour of the house with the kids, but now all the tours are scheduled and we hadn’t planned much in advance so we decided just to enjoy the grounds instead. I’m so glad we did. There is just so much space and trails that we haven’t really explored much, and it was soul-filling to be out in the beautiful weather. We stopped in at a cafe on the grounds to get some water and coffee, and seeing the swarms and crowds of people made me realize being outside on the grounds was probably better anyway considering all the sickness spreading lately. I grew up in Asheville and have seen the house interior many times, and the children have visited before also. I did request however that we make a stop to the gardens and greenhouse, and it was so lovely. I could have spent a lot more time in there, but little ones were ready to move on. We did end our trip with a visit to the stables and barn because of course Phoebe insisted we do just that. It was just a beautiful and nice day together and with my parents. I hope you enjoyed this little virtual tour as well. ❤
