Drew and Annie had Friday off so last minute we decided to go to Asheville, North Carolina for the weekend. Drew had been wanting to visit Asheville since we moved to Kentucky. It's only a 3.5 hour drive and really it was a beautiful city that had some fun things to do. The main thing on our agenda was visit the Biltmore Estate. It's the largest private residence in the United States.
After a long day of traveling we let the boys play for a bit.
The 175,000 sq ft. home sits on 8,000 acres of some of North Carolina's most beautiful land.
The gardens were amazing.
Me by my name sake the "Ash Tree"
On the estate they had a little village with old fashioned games and people reenacting life back in the late 1800's.
Mac loved the bowling.
There was a cute little petting farm with little baby chicks.
The funkiest looking chickens and the sweetest miniature goats.
Saturday we came back to tour the inside of the house. It was absolutely beautiful!! A must see in my opinion and worth the money.
