THE BITMORE ESTATE - How the wealthy lived in the 1900's

Geni and I took a side trip to the Biltmore Estate near Ashville NC. I though the Deering Estate in Florida was awesome, this place is the most incredible Estate I have every seen! No expense was spared in building this stunning piece of American architecture. It took Geni and I over 5 hours of walking and climbing, and we only seen a small part of the estate. Owned by the Vanderbilt family still today.
