I was able to fly home for spring break this year. I had so much fun with my family. I can't believe it is already over.
While there we took an 8 hour jaunt to North Carolina and visited the Biltmore. It is the largest home in America and it was pretty impressive. Here are some photos that I took.

It had very beautiful architecture

This is the only picture I got of the inside of the mansion. We were on the top floor looking down the grand staircase.

We went back for a second day to view the gardens. I think McKay was tired.

More wisteria. It was all over the place. Beautiful.

What a neat place. I can't even imagine living there. The rooms were cosy but there were so many of them. I would've gotten lost for a while before being able to find my way around.
It was a great trip and I enjoyed going immensely.

It would be a great place to play hide and seek in!! You'd have to have boundries though!!!
Great pics Halley!
It was so nice to have you here . . . miss you!
Those pictures are so cool!!!!!!. What a beautiful place
Halley, your camera takes seriously beautiful crisp pictures (okay, I mean you take beautiful crisp pictures with your camera!) But seriously, that is a beautiful place and you captured it's beauty well. I'm so jealous of your spring break vacation. I need a vacation...
Also, I about fell out of my chair at work when I saw you blogged...hooray for you :) Hopefully you blog more of your trip :) I need to live vicariously through you...I have never been there :)
Jenna . . . I don't think she took many more pictures than those . . . . :) I think she forgets she has that wonderful camera!!!!!
Thank you everyone! I decided that I would have to blog with all those fun pictures. I did take my camera with me a few other times but didn't take that many more pictures.
I really love my camera. I think it does a great job as well. I was really excited to have all those flowers to try it out on. McKay kept asking why mom and I were taking so many pictures of flowers. Haha. I just really wanted to see how the camera would do.
