Grounds and Gardens of the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina

These are the “illegal” pictures I took on the inside. No photography was allowed, and I mean none. I saw people getting chased down for taking pictures with their phones! But that didn’t stop me from trying ;-) I didn’t want to leave without having SOME sort of photographic evidence of being there. I learned later they sold books of the house and bought one, but am still proud I was able to snap a few discernible pics without getting caught!

This is the dining room and that would be part of my dad’s face in the bottom corner ;-)
