Biltmore Christmas Candlelight Evening

My last day of work was 12/23.  Right after work, I drove down to Virginia Beach just in time for Christmas dinner with Jason and the family.  Since Rachel and Alana were working on Christmas they had the dinner early.  I also hung out in VB for Christmas Eve.  On Christmas morning I drove to SC to spend rest of the day with Nathan and his family.  It was a very nice weekend and I was really glad to have been able to see them all before driving out West.

On the 27th I began my drive out West but not before stopping at the Biltmore Estates in Asheville with Maria and Alyssa.  It was crazy busy and difficult getting all the way to the parking.  Instead of doing two separate visits, one for day and one for evening, we ended up staying all the way through our evening visit.  The evening tickets were little extra, though I am not sure it was that much nicer at night.  The day time visit was significantly more crowded though, and it took longer than usual to get though the house. Below is a video of the photos I took during the evening tour: 

We also walked around the gardens and pond a bit between our house visit.  There wasn't a whole lot to see the in gardens though except the conservatory.  Overall, it was a really nice visit, but I think the outside grounds would be nicer to explore in warmer months.
