And great views of the mountains on the opposite side. Going for a swim would've felt nice. :)Vonda Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680397260476850190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-58701369964077344402013-07-02T19:53:56.139-04:002013-07-02T19:53:56.139-04:00Great pictures, Vonda!

Biltmore is an incredible place, although one enduring memory I have of our visit was the recurring thought that "these people had too much money", LOL. <br /><br />But I've read that Mrs. Vanderbilt was quite the humanitarian and very good to her servants and other employees, even organizing classes to help them learn to read. Very progressive for her day.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the gorgeous photos (I saw that little green dragonfly).<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09662077274942155406noreply@blogger.com
