Pigeon Forge, TN, to Charlotte, NC, via Asheville, NC.

After three days in our motel in Pigeon Forge, it was time to load up the bus again.

 Breakfast was served each morning.

The luggage is waiting to be loaded.

Visiting before traveling the short distance (relatively) to Asheville, NC, and the Biltmore Estate there.  
We bid farewell to the group as they entered the Biltmore Estate.  The brother of Sue and Ruth lives in Hendersonville, NC, near here.

Here we have Jean, sister-in-law, and Mark, brother, in the first row.  Then the travelers, Sue, Al and Ruth in the second row.

Across from the entrance to the Biltmore Estate is a historic area called Biltmore Village.

 This church was built at the same time as the Biltmore Estate in 1896.  The same architect designed this building.

George Vanderbilt paid for this church construction and was active in its affairs until his death in 1914.

Another view.


 The altar.

Beautiful stained glass panels beside the entry doors.

The siblings on the church grounds.

The Fergus Falls contingent.

What happens when a fast-food franchise want to build in a zoned and historic area.

Have you ever seen a fireplace in a McD?

Mark's birthday.

Jean and Mark meet Gloria and Larry Lundstrom.
