Hello friends. Doug and I are away this weekend celebrating our thirty-third wedding anniversary. We are visiting the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. We have been to Biltmore twice previously with our family, but this is our first solo trip and our first trip during the Christmas Season.
I ordered tickets to the Candlelight Christmas Evenings at Biltmore Estate late last summer. The Estate can be visited during the day throughout the Christmas season, or for a special treat, you may purchase Candlelight Evening tickets.
I am looking forward to seeing all of the rooms decorated for the Christmas. I confess that I am itching to decorate my own home, though somewhat LESS dramatically than the Biltmore decorators! I have been receiving daily updates on decorating and seasonal events at the Estate... building the anticipation.
Did I mention that prior to our eight o'clock evening tour time we have dinner reservations on the estate? I will have to keep you posted on what all of the details.
The Candlelight Evenings are supposed to include seasonal entertainment throughout the house: dancers, choirs, and musicians, all to the glow of candlelight.
Did I mention that you can also take sleigh and carriage rides? You can participate in many outdoor activities during the daytime hours. Biking, hiking, and horseback riding to name a few.

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. Sounds like an amazing time. My parents live really close to the Biltmore. We haven't visited it yet, tho. You certainly sold me on it, looks like a fairy tale.
