Need a quick getaway to recharge your batteries? I had forgotten what a nice town
Asheville is and how truly awesome a visit to
Biltmore Estate can be! Less than two and a-half hours west of Winston-Salem on I-40, this cosmopolitan mountain city is experiencing a huge renaissance, with funky little boutiques and restaurants all over its once-dilapidated downtown. We decided to go since John's class is reading a book called "The Mystery of Biltmore Estate" and he kept trying to impress us with his wealth of knowledge on the subject. This 8-year-old, who thinks that just about everything his parents like to do is "lame," was captivated by George W. Vanderbilt's late 19th-century home. (The kids' treasure map we picked up at the front desk didn't hurt!) Enjoy the photos.
