What a great first day for my project 365....a trip to the Biltmore Mansion! Nevermind that I was sicker than a dog (didn't get to surprise my NC friend....) :(
Nevertheless, we had a beautiful day and got some cool shots to share with y'all (oh, see now - that Southern talk is rubbin off on me....) ;) Here are some shots from our day today.
We weren't allowed to take pictures inside, but a braver me would have anyway. There were, however, workers EVERYWHERE, so I didn't chance it. Maybe next time.... ;)

This was the initial view of the mansion from the trail that we took. Beauty, eh?
Sean and I.... ;D
My father-in-law Harvey
One of many cool fountains on the grounds, an area so vast they measure it in square miles, not acres....yeesh!
Lovely trees....
This sucker's huge! It wouldn't all fit in there.... Beautiful details everywhere you look....
One of many gargoyles, which are *NOT* evil, by the way....they were meant to ward off evil.
We thought this lion looked like Honey. And this is the view of Honey that I get to have every morning as she stands over me on the bed just staring at me....time to get up Mommy! Except that she has huge golden retriever ears dangling down....and no mane....hmmm....
For those of you that have seen Private Eyes (kudos to you!), it was filmed at the Biltmore Mansion. Here is the tunnel that several of the characters drive through at various times before ending up in a lake down the road (which is really elsewhere....sorry to disappoint....)

Awesome pics!! I love them all, especially that cool fountain. I cannot imagine all the "details" but I know how I adore Europe for that reason. Special unique touches everywhere you look!!
When you get back home, lets go riding...I have not forgotten. :)
