Our first trip with the house guests was to my store. We picked up Aunt Elaine at the airport and went to my place of work.They loved it.

The next day we packed the car and headed to the BILTMORE ESTATE.

We have Uncle Dave , Aunt Sylvane, Cuz Tim, two of his four Jon Paul and Katherine, Beepa and Aunt Elaine. The rain was pretty steady so we did the house tour first. And got our wine tasting in.


The second day the rain was a light mist so we walked the gardens.



Passion flower vine.

Beepa and I in the conservatory.


This is the spring garden. Forthia and flowering quince line the garden path. Eastern Redbud and Tulip trees were also in flower.





Then we headed to THE FARM on the estate. This all of us on the farm wagon. Please note our cool farm hats!

We got home and the next day we drove to Old Salem Museum. Friday the rain washed out the trip to the zoo. As a thank you the gang out beepa and I thank you gifts. Beepa got "Pelican Pete" to go with her "Captian Jack". I got a beautiful cutting board for the cheese and wine we drank.
Sat. we cut the lawn and played kick ball. It was a great time.
Work has been keeping me busy and I have to soak my feet at night so I can't type much. Hee Hee Love you guys Thanks for the great vacation.
