Wordless Wednesday: vacation reflection
Posted on by Mama's Empty Nest
Author: Mama's Empty Nest
Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'. A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera. Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” View All Posts

The Biltmore Estate is exactly that – fascinating. I could visit there again and again I think. 🙂

Yes, we went several years ago (probably 1998-1999) around Christmas time. I wasn’t into taking pictures then like I am now; think that necessitates another trip! 😉

That is such an impressive place, isn’t it? I visited there in the summer of 1978 and would love to go back with my good camera sometime. Lovely photo!

I just loved it. I’ve always wanted to visit and am happy to cross it off my list. Just amazing and beautiful. Did you know there is a hotel right on the estate where you can stay? It looked beautiful too.

Isn’t it amazing? We loved it too! We enjoyed the little drive through the grounds too. Even ate a picnic lunch in a shady spot. A perfect day and the weather was perfect too. 🙂
