Pictures from Mom's visit

The boathouse at the Biltmore.

These are pictures from our drive west to Black Mountain, near Asheville. It had recently begun to get cold, later than usual, so the fall colors weren't in full array. It was still quite beautiful and we crammed in a lot of activities. After our drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, we toured the Biltmore estate in Asheville. It was built for George Vanderbilt at the end of the 19th century. It is ridiculously huge. But pretty cool to walk through, it's true.
