-------------------------
We spent nights 3, 4, and 5 in Pinehurst, North Carolina, enjoying friends and family (and breakfasts at Cracker Barrel!!!) - and church on Sunday:
My "working breakfast" Monday morning at Cracker Barrel - chocolate-chip pancakes, well-done bacon, black coffee:
On Monday, Wendy and I visited the Sandhills Horticultural Gardens:
Tuesday morning Wendy and I left bright and early to make our way over to The Biltmore Mansion in Asheville:
A pretty lovely day to visit a pretty lovely place (with a pretty lovely lady!):
It is nice to see their 2 Monets - Belle-Île, le chenal de Port-Goulphar, 1886 and Strada Romana a Bordighera, 1884:
I know what Wendy is interested in:
That was a fun MapMyWalk hike around The Mansion:
We then made our way down through The Gardens for a nice little lunch:
We checked into the Village Hotel on Biltmore Estate, and went downtown to look at The Cathedral of All Souls (Episcopal). Unfortunately it was damaged from The Floods and is closed:
So we went back to The Village Inn and hung out:
A lovely dinner brought this wonderful North-Carolina-adventure to a close. Thank you God for these GREAT Adventures!
