Biltmore

Many thanks to Zach and Anna for letting us come up and use their visitor’s passes at Biltmore. Chad had never been and I had not been since elementary school (and therefore, don’t remember it).

Our group shot... sorry I should have cropped it a bit, but time is not on my side anymore.
Love these guys!

It is an amazing place! To me, the grounds were just as impressive as the house. And we didn’t even see it when it is full bloom.

The house!!!



Enjoying the grounds
Zach and his family have an annual membership and with that they get 4 adult passes. Nolan, GrandmaDean, Chad, and me had dibbs on them this year. The kids all get in free. Anna, Esme, and Eva didn’t go because Eva was running a fever. However, Anna, had dinner ready for us when we got home. Now, I know men feel when they walk in the door after a long day! Hahaha! Just Kidding, kind of. It was a yummy dinner where Esme got mad at me and cried because I wouldn’t move for her mom to sit next to her. I played the part of the mean aunt. That girl! She is a trip and a half!
A gaggle of boys

It was great day trip to visit the cousins and get a tour of an impressive place. My kids really enjoyed it because it gave some perspective to the book, Serafina and the Black Cloak, that we read last fall. We are anxious to read the sequel. Serafina and the Twisted Staff!
The sun ruined my funny group shot!


Thanks again Junior A’s for a great Saturday.
