Biltmore Estate and Misc McQ family pics

We spent most of the day Monday touring the Biltmore Estate and Winery. It was the Vanderbilt's house...er... mansion, and is beyond description. Unfortunately, they don't let you take pictures inside so there's no way to show you the crazy over-the-top opulence (big word, I know, but it's the only one I can think of to fit!) Some highlights for me: indoor swimming pool, the "man wing" of the house that had a secret door in the wall, the "Don't Tread On Me" flag (but that's only bc Scott and I are obsessed w/ the HBO miniseries John Adams), and I looooved the library.

So here's some pics:


If you're wondering what's up w/ the "look", it's bc he's saying "Jame, stop taking pictures of me." This one had a bus-full of hyper middle schoolers off to the side looking. I think he was worried what they would think :)



These old and crotchety trees were just amazing!



I call this one "two men with computer bags":
Wow.
They brought the sass all on their own...

Family pic!!


There's more to come... if you can believe it!! :)
