Why NC Is The Best State To Live In...

A Look Back On 2015

JANUARY

January was pretty uneventful, other than Alex & I going to the movie theater. Which doesn't seem like a big deal-but we never go to the movie theater. We save our money to go on trips. But we made the except three times this year. This month we saw The Boy Next Door. I recommend it!

Biltmore House - Asheville, North Carolina

I have always wanted to go to the Biltmore House (especially at Christmastime...which we definitely plan on going back for). We drove the 3 hour drive from Alex's house to Asheville, NC. We went straight to the Biltmore House. It was so big & beauty-ful. We got to tour the house...which took a long time because this house is the largest house in America. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures inside the house, but we got plenty of shots outside the house.

On the inside they had all of the old furniture. As Alex said, it was like stepping back in time. It even smelled "old" haha. I don't think either of us had climbed so many stairs. There was a huge spiral staircase...so big that there were seats & couches on the different levels of the staircase so you could sit to take a break. That house had everything from a million bedrooms...to fireplaces in almost every room...a bowling alley...an indoor pool...& the list goes on & on.

It is hard to believe that that house was actually someone's home. It is so unbelievably huge...I think it would have been pretty creepy to live there...& what if you were there home alone? I would flip out. But they did have at least 5 bedrooms for their servants...so I guess they were never technically "alone".

Since I couldn't take any pictures inside the house, I found someone online so you can see how pretty the inside really is...

When you first walk in this is what you see...
