Mountain Adventure-Part 2

For me, part two of our mountain adventure was the best part, because of the sheer amount of excitement. On Monday, we went to the Biltmore House, which was such incredible experience. I love history, and this was right up my alley. The Biltmore House was built by George Vanderbilt in the late 1800’s. It was modeled after a French chateau and it has one of the top 10 botanical gardens in the world. It was absolutely beautiful. 

 On Tuesday, we used those vouchers to go back to Ober Gatlinburg and ride the bobsleds again. We had plans to go look at crafts afterward, but as we were driving around a curve… BAM!!!!

The big rig that did the damage

 Our car was totaled; front axle broken and front end torn off. So we spent the rest of the day sitting on the front porch of a wood carver and his wife. In the boondocks. A few hours later, we ended up at a used TV store and were whisked downtown to the fudge shop by a big hillbilly who was giving us an education about how nuclear waste is the reason there are so many jellyfish in the ocean…  It was a blasty. 

 Wednesday morning, dark and early, we hopped in our rental Tahoe and left from our mountain hideaway. On our way back home, we stopped off in Savannah, Georgia for some eats at Paula Dean’s Lady and Sons restaurant. 

5,000 calories later, we took a walk around town for a little while before  FINALLY heading the rest of the way home for some much needed rest.
