On November 26-28, my grandmother, my mom, and I went to Asheville and the Biltmore. The Biltmore is a 19th century home that belonged to the Vanderbilt family before being turned into a museum by descendants. Biltmore is famous for its beautiful Christmas decor during the holiday season, and we came for the nighttime Candlelight Tour, when the house is lit only by hundreds of Christmas lights and candles.
