Vanderbuilt
















Today was spent at the Biltmore, the home built by the Vanderbilt family. It sits on a mere 8,000 acres, and besides the house has two small "villages" (read shopping areas) and a hotel. There's also a nice Starbucks right before you go on property so everyone was happy. You can spend a whole day here, and we did. But special travel tip, it's worth seeing but don't go around Christmas. As impressive as the house is, the Christmas specific decorations aren't that great and the crowds were crazy to the point of frustrating. Here's the front lawn.
