Biltmore Estate: the closest thing that North Carolina (and the rest of our country) has to a castle. By visiting Biltmore, you're instantly transported to the setting of a Jane Austen novel, without having to drive very far. Oh, how I wish they allowed photography inside this grand chateau - intricate details, floor to ceiling tapestries, dainty floral china galore, and a Pellegrini painting that once graced the ceiling of the Pisini Palace in Venice. Somebody pinch me. Luckily, I have a 12 month pass that will surely be renewed. Their festival of flowers is just around the corner! It might be a cliche travel destination if you live in NC, but it'll never get old to me.
