Biltmore Estate - Visiting the BIGGEST HOME in the USA!! (+Awesome Campground in Asheville)
We have seen massive houses and castles in Europe, but today we are visiting the largest home in the USA! Biltmore Estate was built in the late 1800's by the Vanderbilt family as a summer entertaining home. It is quite spectacular!
But before we visit the house itself, we take in the grounds which include and entire village!! Within in village are hotels, restaurants... and a full winery... that provides a complimentary tasting of 5 different wines of your choosing. This was an incredible experience!
While staying in Asheville, NC, we found a great campground and decided to spend a few extra days just relaxing around the lakes and the river that runs right through the Asheville East KOA. Oh, and there is good fishing in these lakes too!

    CNN Anderson Cooper Fun fact: George Vanderbilt was Gloria Vanderbilt's great uncle, making Anderson Cooper his great, great nephew. Anderson Cooper grew up in the shadow of great wealth: His great-great-great-grandfather was Cornelius Vanderbilt, one of the richest men in American history. George Washington Vanderbilt, who commissioned the Biltmore House in 1882, was Gloria Vanderbilt's great-uncle. Gloria Vanderbilt's grandfather, Cornelius Vanderbilt II, and George Washington Vanderbilt were brothers.

    Carnival: I don't party; food sounds icky; don't have kids Norwegian: don't do shows; depending on needs, crunch the figures before buying a package; I like buffet; too old for the pool but paying more for a better pool experience still sounds like a cheap shot; Royal Caribbean: like food; like lido decks; sports bar would be nice; don't drink alcohol or soft drinks. Holland America? Old people who go to bed at 10:00 pm? I'm in bed by 8:00! 😊 Laid back, no activities is fine with me! How about cruises specifically for the elderly? In their seventies? What about smoking for those of us who don't smoke? Lectures about the places we're going? Viking sounds perfect for me.
