Biltmore Adventures

Our good friends, Josh and Amy, were gifted two free passes to Biltmore recently that could only be used during the month of February. Since they are slam busy during tax season, they so graciously offered us the tickets! Today, we had the perfect day with 65 degree, sunny weather to put those tickets to use. It was the best pre-cursor to spring and allowed us to walk around outside enjoy some different sights. 

We got there around 10:30 this morning with a finally happy baby. Luke has been very irritable this week, so I was a little concerned that things wouldn't go smoothly today. All was well though and he enjoyed seeing and meeting new people. We went through the house around 11:30 and enjoyed lunch at the Stable Cafe (where Luke chowed down on some white beans, kale, chicken and bread). We walked through the gardens which are just beginning small buds of bulbs. I told Dillon in a month or so those gardens would look completely different. 

The rest of the afternoon, we went down the hill and toured the winery and looked at the farm animals they have at Antler Village. It was a lovely day and we enjoyed spending it together! 

It's a lot more difficult to go on a day trip with a baby. A lot of packing and planning goes into place.

Luke wasn't interested in the house tour. He fell asleep.
