Asheville is a beautiful city. We spent the afternoon at the Biltmore estate. Wow - those people had way too much money! The estate had 255 rooms (43 of them are bathrooms). The basement has a huge pool and a 2 lane bowling alley. They wore 5 or 6 outfits a day. You had to wear a different outfit for each activity. And yes, there was a big laundry in the basement. The trip is winding down. We travel the Blue Ridge Parkway today through North Carolina and Virginia. We arrive at Chad's on Sunday and will be there for a week. Missy arrives there on the 7th. We have to get home in time to get our income taxes done!

Comments from Eldon: Touring the castle was not my cup of tea. It's just not right for one family to have so much but the dairy did have the best milk shake I've ever had. Rich cows are cool.

Comments from Larry: Once again, I didn't get to see anything - no pets are allowed. But the campground has a river and a lot of birds. I'd rather have that than a mansion anyway (although I'll let the mansion has a lot of mice).
