Tuesday was a busy day for us. We spent the night at this lovely hotel at the Biltmore Estate in Ashville, N.C. Then we were up early and had a wonderful breakfast before heading to our tour of the old Biltmore house.
This house was built by the Vandercourt family in the late 1800s. It is a very beautiful house. We took an audio tour which was very good. It took about 2 1/2 hours and we were done and on the road by noon which was our goal.
The weather continued to be chilly which required us to wear jackets. However we had a rest from the rain. After our tour we got right on the road and drove about 500 miles to Tallahssie Florida. It was a long day, stopping only for bathroom breaks and fast food. I am not very good at enjoying fast food so we passed up the last one in the evening and just settled for snack food for dinner.
Today (Wednesday) we drove south and planned to explore the gulf coast highway. However, the rain caught us and it rained most of our scenic drive. At one point we had to pull over because too many branches were flying around in the wind. We waited about 15 minutes and then continued our travels. We drove all the way to Pensacola today. It finally stopped raining and we have stopped for the night. We are visiting the Navy museum tomorrow and then we really don't know what we will do next. We need to be in Tennessee by Friday afternoon I'm sure we will find some way to spend the time. I will keep you posted.
