The Inn at Biltmore

It was our 25th anniversary, and because we financially could not afford a party, our two sons who are in the military here in North Carolina chipped in to send us on a honeymoon package to the Biltmore in Asheville. It was incredible.
The first day we had some time before 3 p.m. check in, so we found some local antique shops. We drove to the Inn at the Biltmore where we were staying. We were surprised by roses and champagne on our table. The service and food were impeccable. Next door is the winery. We read books by the fireplace in the inn. We rode horses for three hours in the mountains. Our guide took a cooler with a picnic lunch.

We had a dinner reservation at the Inn. I had a black skirt on, so the waiter switched my white napkin to a black one so I wouldn’t get white lint on my skirt.

We will never forget this gift from our sons.
