Family Trip

It was time to torture the kids with some history and sight seeing.  Let's go to Biltmore!  On our last trip there, Cari and I picked up annual passes, so it was time to get some use of them.

Going through the house went quite well with the children.  Randy was interested in it and even listened to some of the hosts in the house answer questions.  Meredith didn't seem to care too much, but behaved herself just fine.  While Brenna did behave through the house, she was mostly occupied looking for a princess.

This was my first visit to the house with flowers in bloom.  The field of tulips was awesome. The gardens are really something you have to see for yourself.

We are already thinking about going back in the summer to see the roses and take more time in the gardens.  While the kids did really good in the house, flowers just didn't hold their interest.  It might be an "adults only" trip when we go back to the gardens.

Our adventure of sight seeing with the kids turned out really well and we all had a great day.  While the history  and grandeur of the house can hold a child's interest, don't try and force to much of the gardens on the young.  They don't have time to stop and smell the flowers.
