Did you ever have GPS withdrawal?? We were headed towards Asheville, about 30 miles out, and our GPS just stopped (no noise, nothing) and we panicked!!! Got into Asheville and drove around until we found a Walmart and got another one. In towns and cities they're so helpful with far more information than maps, that we replaced it right away. Checked into the Albemarle Inn, an old Victorian home with large columns outside, beautiful woodwork everywhere, and they really treated us nicely with wine/cheese at 5pm and three course breakfasts in the morning. Here's a shot from the main hall in the Inn, a nice place to visit. On Thursday we headed over to Jim's old buddy's place, he referred to him as GWV. I asked Sheila to sit out on the front yard and I took a photo of her beside the fountain. The Biltmore Estate was amazing, we spent seven hours there today visiting the home, gardens, winery and shops areas and didn't totally see everything, hard to believe this was designed for GW Vanderbilt when he was a bachelor!! I asked a visitor to take a picture of us on the back portico of the estate with the North Carolina mountains in the background.
(these photos are in reverse order from this text, sorry).
