So we fianlly where able to take a short Spring Break vacation and still do school work while there. We had the great opportunity to visit the Biltmore House for their annual home school festival. From 8:30am on Friday morning, we learned about animals, making suilts, seeing real life Owls of different types, a red-tailed hawk, Arianna and Hunter picked up and 1000 pound log, made a water wheel, a compass and went on a treasure hunt with it, and made butter, and even watched soil erosion. Then had a picnic lunch at the Barn, played with the gots, chickens and beautiful horses. Then toured the Barn and all the old things. Then we toured the beautiful Biltmore house every floor. After touring grabbed a huge ice cream treat, and then slowly walked over to the Gardens. From the fish in the Gardens to every color of Tulp you could imagine. Then to the pond and waterfall. It was a full day that ended around 6 pm and then we grabbed dinner and went to our wonderful Hotel. We where so pleased with our hotel and how well we where treated. Then jumped in the heated(not so much) pool for a night swim, then back to our room where we all crashed from a long day. It was really great and we all had a great time. We look forward to going next year. We had a great drive home taking our time and going by Chimney Rock and Lake Lure for some play time. We rested most of Sunday from being so tired, but it was a wonderful time.
