In the U.S. we do not have the castles and cathedrals of Europe. However, the wealthy George Vanderbilt created the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, which is a huge and amazing place. It was overwhelming and gorgeous. I would be hard put to say what was my favorite piece of our tours. The outside was overwhelming, the inside was fascinating, and the gardens were gorgeous.
This post was inspired by the WordPress weekly Photo Challenge: Big.
a vacation in my mind 
Like a fairy tale! ~ Kat
Truly! Have you been there? I did not think it would be as fascinating as it turned out to be. We spent many hours there. The winery was also very interesting.
It is on the travel bucket list — a friend visited there while on vacation and said it was amazing, both the house and gardens.
It was not on my bucket list since I do not usually get into touring homes, but my extended family insisted it was an unusual and worthwhile experience. It definitely was! You will enjoy it.
