Ashville North Carolina and the Vanderbilts

 I wanted to branch out and do something new while we were in Tennessee. I found some beautiful gardens online that said they were only a few hours away in North Carolina. We took the drive out there to see what this place was like. What I did not know was that the gardens were located on the Vanderbilt estate they built looking out at the smoky mountains.

Of course if I'm involved in site seeing ideas I will always go for a castle. This was just a happy accident that we happened to land at a castle. Call it a mansion, call it a castle, it's incredibly over the top and oozing of wealth. And the grounds were lovely. It is quite a place to visit.

In the basement they have a bowling ally, pool, work out room, plus all the rooms for the servants, kitchens, and inner workings of the palace. Along with a few other giant entertaining rooms. To be so filthy rich and have more money than you know what to do with.
