We're not really museum people. But, places where people - especially wealthy people - once lived have always fascinated us. It's really something to see what some people do with their money. And, our trip to Biltmore did not disappoint.
Today's tour was a very different experience for us both. As a couple of newbie fulltimers poking around the palace, we were struck by a couple of things. It's really big. And, it's full of stuff.
When we entered the banquet hall, we were treated to arrival of the Biltmore Christmas tree. We couldn't look at the 40 foot Douglas fir without thinking that thing is bigger than the place we call home. Heck, that tree is about the size of the place we hope to call our new, expanded rolling home! And there that bigger-than-our-house tree stood in a room that could hold a lot of big rigs.
Yep, motorhomes are now our frame of reference.
And, the stuff! There were warehouses of PODS worth of stuff in that house. And to think everything we own that we don't have with us would fit in the corner of one of the 43 bathrooms in this place.
Of course, as always, we appreciated the architecture, the artistry and the landscape of the place. It's really something to see. But, that was only after we took stock in its spaciousness and its stuff.

I for one, would not want to clean all of those bathrooms! LOL
