This week is my first week of vacation! Alex was able to take off from work as well so we could spend the week together. After Nick's wedding, we spent a few days in Cary and then drove to Asheville. Neither of us had ever been to the Biltmore Estate, so it was the first place we went to visit. It was beautiful! We stayed at the White Gate Inn and Cottage for a bed and breakfast experience while we were there. We highly recommend it!
The Biltmore Estate! It was sunny, but freezing outside!
The house was all decorated for Christmas. There was at least one Christmas tree in every room! They would not let us take any pictures inside, but the entire house was breathtaking. It is an American castle!
Out back on the large patio!
We would gladly wake up to this view every morning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the bed and breakfast. There was a social hour the night we arrived with wine and snacks. It was nice meeting the other guests. The breakfast was a three course meal and was fantastic! The inn had two house dogs that were super cute!
Our room was amazing. It had a fireplace that we would kill to have at home and an awesome jacuzzi tub too!
The view from our porch was pretty!
We tried to go hiking our second day in Asheville. At the start of the trail, however, there was a sign warning about recent bear sightings. With my parents' recent bear encounter in mind, we didn't make it too far on the trail before I got nervous and turned around.
