The Biltmore Estate

Not too long ago we went on a vacation to Ohio.  Before any of us (the children) were born Mom and Dad had gone to the Biltmore Estate and had always spoken of it with extreme pleasure and had wanted to take us to see it as well.  So the first stop we made on the way up to Ohio was of course the Biltmore.  I of course  knew the Estate would be big, but it exceeded even my wildest expectations.  We drove through along for at least five minutes on the Estate just to make it to the house. The house may not look like much there, but believe me I was surprised the people who lived in the Biltmore could find anything without a map.  Sadly, I have no pictures of the interior because you are not allowed to take pictures of the inside (for… some, reason).  I will try, however, to talk about all the high points of the trip.  Inside the house they had a garden a bowling alley, and a swimming pool.  All of the rooms were huge, the house was at least three stories  tall, and there were 42 bathrooms in the house.  One of the funny things we noticed was that the beds were all really short made for a person no bigger than 4 feet.  We looked at all the house we could (the floors after the second floor and select other rooms were off limits), and all in all had a great time.
