SLR Camera Debut

Okay, so I know I've said that Ry rarely gets 2 days in a row off, and that is true (he has gone 6 weeks straight without a day off before), but he actually had 2 weekends in a row off!!! The first weekend he went fishing - see below - and his 2nd weekend off we went to Asheville, North Carolina to visit the Biltmore Mansion. It was very impressive. The Biltmore is the largest privately owned home in the US. and was built by George Vanderbilt. For the small fee of $50 each, we toured the impressive home and beautiful grouds. We both really enjoyed it and had a great day!!!






On the way home, we drove through the Great Smokey Mountains. It was beautiful.





(Ry bought a new SLR camera - a Canon Rebel XTi - this was our first time using it. Here are the rest of the pictures. Great job babe!!!)

Those are some great pics! I can't believe it costs 50 bucks apiece to go though!!! Maybe I'll just wait til Drew is done with residency so we can afford to go...
The smoky mountain pics are gorgeous!

I am impressed! These shots are beauties! Can't wait to see what else you got. Looks like a good time you two. . .glad you got to go!

$50.00!!! WHAT, I don't remember it being that pricey when we went. I don't get it, the Vanderbilts aren't wealthy enough already? They have to charge everyone an arm and a leg to see their huge mansion!
