We had breakfast at a little cafe downtown before we went shopping it was delicious! 
Ed talking to Dwight on the phone we have some friends that live in the area so we were trying to decide when we could catch up.
Just me- look at the georgous trees in the background they said we came at the perfect time it was the peak weekend to see all the colors in the trees. 
Thats right- The Biltmore we bit the bullet while we were there and decided to go see it. Since we went the first weekend in Novemeber we got to see it decorated for Christmas it was opening weekend!
The Entrance- you really have no idea that when you enter you still have miles to drive before you park and get on the shuttle to actually see the house its just amazing the drive in that they had.
When we went in to purchase our tickets they had it all decorated so our first Christmas picture of the season! 
Ed just being funny I guess when you don't have to take care of your kids you can revert back to being a kid! :)
Me- sitting outside 
Look at those awesome tree, the blue sky, and fountain- this is the view out from the front of the Biltmore.
There it is this is one of the best pictures that we got- the house is huge and there is no way to get all of it in one shot.
Outside the front of the Bilmore- you can not take any pictures one you go in.
We also visited a little area they had called down on the farm. They had some little chicks here is Ed holding one.
I think we were really ment to live on a farm...I think Ed looks pretty good on that tractor! 
Sitting in the carriage- to bad we didn't have any horses to pull us.
My turn on the tractor 
Yes that is right...I am getting ready to attempt to walk on stilts...sigh too bad it didn't work out to well and I am SO thankful that when I fell and everyone was looking at me my husband came and helped me and didn't decide to keep taking pictures! :)
Eds attempt I must admit he did much better than I did! 
Me posing beside the old cars I would have loved to drive one of them
We couldn't see everything in one day so we upgraded our passes and can go back anytime we want to for the next year. We are hoping to go back during the festival of flowers. Here we are on our second day sitting outside on one of the enormous patios. Love the mountains in the background.
My handsome husband
Me again- I love how this picture makes my hair look a little red.
a couple pictures of the beautiful view
On Saturday before we headed home we met our friends Carol, Dwight, Olin, and Sue for lunch- it was great to catch up- Here is Olin at about 7 weeks old he slept almost the entire time we saw him. Such a sweet baby.
Everyone after a yummy lunch at my father's pizza in Black Mountain. Carol and Dwight live in Black Mountain and Sue had flown in for the weekend so it was a great opportunity for us all to catch up.
