Our trip to Asheville was to see its world renowned house – Biltmore. However while there we enjoyed two other much smaller but just as lovely in their own way. The first one is North Lodge on Oakland. The second was the Smith McDowell House. (more…)
Those who know me know I have a penchant for Biltmore House and Gardens in Asheville, NC. I have two short stories set in a house inspired by the location. I went there often on school field trips through Middle School and High School. I once held a season pass when in High School. I quit counting my visits when it was over 30. It’s no surprise moving close and with new rooms and new tour available I wanted to go back. So we took a long weekend in early November to go to Asheville. Mike patiently went with me to my kind of Disneyland. The place is one that the more I learn about it the more interesting it becomes.
