Full Photo Album: Here
So, for Valentine’s Day, my sweetheart Virginia really did great! We took off and went down to Asheville. Virginia is actually so good, that she booked us a hotel room with Tempur-Pedic beds. I have laid on one in Brookstone and places like that, but never really got to spend any quality time with one. This gave the awesome opportunity.
The main attraction of course, was the trip to the Biltmore. That place is AWESOME.
Here we are standing in front of the Biltmore. For those who haven’t been there, we’re probably 500 feet away from the front sidewalk. Of course, they didn’t allow any photography inside, but if you ever get the chance to go, you should do so. It was a bit chilly and a bit rainy the day we went, but it was still an awesome trip.
After the house tour, we went down to the winery part. I can’t exactly recommend eating at the little “Bistro” next to the winery. There was a hot dog stand on the way up to the winery, I’d eat there, or bring my own food if we go back. But, once in the winery, we skipped the tour, and went straight to the tasting. We got to taste 5 wines, and had a few that were rather tasty. After the tasting, we went to a demonstration on how to make truffles. AWESOME. The only problem was that we got there a little early, so we sat down and ordered a bottle of wine. I normally don’t drink wine, but this was good stuff… A little too good. I pounded 2 glasses of wine, and then had to hold myself back from drinking the rest of the bottle.
All in all, it was a dang awesome trip. Virginia did a great job planning everything, it was relaxing and amazing to see a house of that scale. … … Even if Virginia did get attacked by a killer fish.
I’d recommend looking through the photo album. There are many more pictures from Asheville there, and they are all actually captioned this time!
