Mother's Day Weekend

David came home on Friday afternoon and started busily doing stuff on the computer. I couldn't know what it was but he was searching and typing and busy. So come later that afternoon, he surprised me with a trip to the Biltmore Estate in Ashville, North Carolina. It is about 3 hours from home and we were going to stay at the inn on the Estate. So we loaded up and I was so excited. The trip to the inn was uneventful and Fallon did wonderful. We got to the inn and the valet opened our doors and unloaded our vehicle. I was impressed. I felt out of place because it's a 4 star hotel. Very fancy but it was an experience for all of us.

We toured the grounds of the estate and saw a turkey, goats, and horses. We saw some amazing Bamboo that was over 80 feet tall on the other side of the river. I couldn't believe that it was actual bamboo. They used bamboo next to the road for privacy and it was so thick that you couldn't see through it at all. We need some of that at the house.

Saturday, we got Fallon ready and had an amazing breakfast at the inn. Then we proceeded around the grounds and headed up to the house. It started out as a beautiful but very hot day. We were going to tour the gardens first but because it was so warm, we decided to tour the house. The house was beautiful on the outside and inside. We saw many rooms and points of interest. The tour was long and the house was very warm but it's an experience that I won't forget. I enjoyed it immensely. Fallon slept on David through the entire tour. After the tour of the house we went down to the gardens to tour it but then it started to rain. We thought that we could just take our umbrella and deal with it but the wind picked up and the rain hit your sideways. So we took cover in the greenhouse and then decided to leave. I feel really bad because as we were heading out, it stopped raining. I should have told David to turn around and go back but I didn't.

This was a Mothers Day that I won't forget and really thoroughly enjoyed. David really finds some great things to do for special events. The photo below is her mother's day breakfast outfit that David dressed her up in. Ain't she cute!!
