11th Anniversary - Biltmore
August 5, 2009Woo, it's been a hectic past few days with school and football.
Mel and I went back to the Biltmore Estate for our 11th anniversary this past weekend. They don't allow photograph-taking inside the house for some anal reason, which is unfortunate because the house is amazing.
After we were done with the house and winery, we went to an outdoor Oak Ridge Boys concert on the estate, which we thought didn't allow photography until we were actually in our seats. There was a big "no photograph" sign at the entrance, but when we sat down, they announced we could take pictures. So, I don't have any pictures of the concert.
A word of advice if you visit Biltmore and you're trying to get from the house to parking lot C: no Biltmore employee will tell you where parking lot C is. They will obnoxiously tell you that "you do not want to walk that far". Never mind the fact that I'm an Army veteran and Melissa is in great shape, we apparently can't handle a two-mile walk. They will tell you to go back to the House and catch a shuttle.

got a little Captain in you?We did the wine sampling at the winery and bought a couple of bottles of wine. After the concert, I drove us home instead of staying over night. Got home at 2am Sunday.
I stopped for gas in Hendersonville and, inside the gas station, there was a rack of Biltmore wines for half of what we paid at the Biltmore winery. DOH!
