We really enjoyed walking around the conservatory and hiking on the grounds of the Biltmore during our day trip there. The gardens were some of my favorite parts of our day and I wish that more things had been in bloom outside, because I'm sure it is gorgeous!
I wore forsythia in my hair the day we were married 25 years ago. It was the only thing blooming on our college campus. It's our flower...
For our splurge dinner, we chose the Deerpark Restaurant. The seating was comfortable and relaxed and our waitress was awesome. The servers we encountered on the buffet line were not top of the line--either for skill or attitude. The food was fine, but not as good as I thought it would be. There were a couple of items that I really liked. It was nice for a one-time experience, but I wouldn't visit there again. We both left pleasantly full, but not overly stuffed. (I know my zoomed-in pictures look like there is tons of food on my plates.)
