biltmore visit

{last week, when Carly was on vacation with her friend in east Tennessee, they made a trip to Asheville, North Carolina to see the Biltmore. The Biltmore has been on my list of places to see and I haven't made it there yet. But, Carly beat me to it!}

{Carly and her good friend Miss MM bought matching outfits while they were off. Kenny said they looked like the Bobbsey Twins. Carly said they were thinking more Mary Kate and Ashley. Here they are in front of the Biltmore beside one of the gigantic planters.}

{By Carly....."The Biltmore was built by Mr. George Vanderbilt. My favorite things were the swimming pool, library, Mr Vanderbilt's room and Mrs. Vanderbilt's room. I was surprised by how much room they had. I thought it was interesting that there were so many changing rooms because guest could not walk through the house in their swim suits or gym clothes. I also learned that the chess set in the library was owned by Napoleon. The Halloween Room was also cool it was painted by guests attending a party. The house also had a bowling alley. Behind the bowling alley was where the people who worked in the kitchen slept. It was said that if guests stayed up bowling late to expect a bad breakfast."}
