The enormous tree in the Banquet Hall. All the trees were gorgeous. My favorite was this one:
In addition to spending a day at Biltmore, we spent an afternoon in the River Arts District. I could have spent a lot of money there! We also spent a day walking the Urban Walking Trail. And we ate. A lot. I certainly got my fill of fried green tomatoes and pimiento cheese.
It was a very relaxed vacation for us. Lots of sleeping in late, leaving the hotel in time to eat lunch, spending the afternoon doing something, returning for a quick break to the hotel, then heading out for dinner. A different kind of vacation from the ones where we are up & out early being tourists. This trip was so nice and relaxing. Also a little colder and windier than I expected. Thank goodness I took a scarf and my earmuffs!
Before Asheville, we went to GA to visit my brother and his family. They live in the North Georgia mountains. That was also very relaxing. Our first night we met them for dinner and it was so good to catch up.
Saturday we went to a middle school wrestling match! Our nephew wrestles. We know nothing about wrestling. His parents tried to explain it and I started to understand a bit but my goodness when they throw each other around, well, it looks painful. Nephew is a pretty darn good wrestler and had a good day. We got to see 3 of his 5 matches that day.

Two of the three dogs. The oldest was happy to nap in a bedroom. These 2 wanted all the attention. |

Pile of grilled veggies. There were pork chops, too, just not pictured |
And then it was time to head to the hotel and on to NC.
