My wife and I are leaving early tomorrow morning for a 9:00 am reservation to visit Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.C. We've been several times over the years but not in the last 10 years or so. She is a huge fan of Downton Abbey, the PBS series, and this year Biltmore has a Downton Abbey exhibition. Biltmore is an amazing place any time of year, but at Christmas the house is especially beautiful. It's difficult to imagine the scale of the house and gardens without visiting it.
