Biltmore Waterways

After picking Greerson and Christa up at Camp Daniel Boone on Friday. We all decided to go to the Biltmore since they had not seen it yet. We toured the house then ate lunch in the Stable Cafe. After lunch Greerson got ice cream, since we couldn't ride the bus with it we checked out the gardens while he ate. Then loaded up in the truck and headed to the bass pond. It was beautiful and a nice walk. On the way out we stopped at the lagoon to get a good shot of the back of the Chateau. We then drove around Asheville for awhile so they could see the city. The Grove Park Inn was beginning the celebration for their 100th anniversary. The anniversary is actually next summer, but they are going to drag it out over a year. After the driving tour we headed to the camper to prepare to go to Louisville, Kentucky the next day.
