Lots of Fun at Biltmore Estate

Because of her great selling abilities and those of her other 4H group, Katherine's Maters and Taters 4H group got to go to the Biltmore Estate this past weekend and take along family, too! Keith and I accompanied Katherine and had a wonderful time. It was a first time experience for all three of us.

I was very impressed with the massiveness of the place and couldn't get over the decorating. Nearly every ceiling in the place was done differently! And the fireplaces were incredible. Of course, add in a huge organ, a swimming pool, bowling alley, grand banquet hall, winter garden room, etc etc and you have the granduer of a Vanderbilt!

Katherine enjoyed seeing all the rooms was was always intrigued with the candle holders, plates, and clocks. She says she is going to have a lot of nic nacs in her house when she grows up! She was also thoroughly impressed with the gardens and tooks lots and lots of pictures. You'll have to check them out on facebook.

 

We also went to the farm area and saw someone spinning wool and then saw a sheep shearing. Finally Katherine tried her hand at an instrument that is similar to a dulcimer/banjo combo!
