Although I knew that we were visiting it in the summer, and I had read that the day we were visiting was one of the busiest days, I don't think I was fully prepared for the mass of humanity that was there that day.
We decided to skip the line for the Chateau and walk the grounds instead.
Classical Music is played throughout the Gardens. It was beautiful...
You would think that my children would be checking out this gorgeous fountain..
but really they were fascinated by the fish and ducks in the pond. It always amazes me that the things they get most excited about are animals and
of course flowers.... things they could find anywhere. They could care less about the old beautiful buildings around them. Hopefully one day they will appreciate where there momma and daddy have taken them.
On a side note, in less than a month my baby will start Kindergarten. You would think that I would be jumping for joy to have one less little one at home, but I really am having a hard time. I can't believe she is growing up so fast.
She is so excited though..."counting down the days" excited. I love that I am getting photo bombed by my five year old in this picture.
After walking around the grounds, we walked back to the Chateau hoping the masses of humanity had decided to go home. This picture does not do justice to the line to get inside. To the right are all the people who are lined up...it was crazy.
Needless to say, we did not go inside. Brian's solution for me not getting to go in was "Honey, I will take you to the Biltmore House." My solution: I think I need a girl's trip to Paris before we leave here (And I don't mean "girl's trip" as in me and my daughters...I mean an adult girl's trip just to clarify in case my husband is reading this).
