Biltmore and Cades Cove (Part II)

On Friday, Mom and I headed over to Asheville to see the Biltmore Estates.  It was so much fun!  You aren't allowed to take pictures inside the house, so I have nothing to show for actually being inside, but let me tell you it's extravagant like I've never seen before.

I was officially 25 weeks on Friday so Mom took a bump picture for me.







While we were at Biltmore, Josh took Justin and Dave to the Knoxville Zoo.  They also had a blast, and as an added bonus, they got in free because of our Fort Wayne Zoo membership.  Gotta love free!

Josh's parents arrived pretty late on Friday due to some heavy traffic (typical of the area).  On Saturday, we went back to Cades Cove to drive the loop.

Look forward to this picture as a possible Christmas card this year!  Love the mountain backdrop.

After the loop, we were all pretty tired, so we stopped for a picnic right outside the Cades Cove entrance.

Dave got to play in the stream that runs along the picnic area.

And our squirrel friend who was trying to run away with the food!
