Right now I'm hanging out in Washington with the Roses wondering what will become of their Staffordshire figurines.  The war hasn't quite started, but it is beginning to fester.

Thanks TarHeelGirl, for once again reviving the thread.

Have you ever been to the Biltmore House?  It is beautiful at Christmas, but also in the spring when all of the flowers are blooming and you can walk all over the grounds.  I think they have opened up a lot more of the house since I was there.  Now I want to go again!!!

Not as an adult, but a friend from work spent a week in Asheville during a vacation and brought back pics so I got to live vicariously

One of these days I would love to see where some of my favorite authors write about and I have more than a few who are LowCountry writiers.
