Sunset from our RV park
Andi enjoys the view from our new RV site
Good morning again from Asheville.  Yesterday we arose at a reasonable time and drove the RV down in to Asheville.  After grabbing some breakfast, we made our way to the Biltmore Estate and did a tour of the famous mansion.  I was just as impressed with how little George and Edith Biltmore did for anyone with all of their millions as I was with the gigantic mansion.  I'm not one who thinks the rich should be penalized for being rich, but when inherited that much money, it seems like you could do something for those less fortunate or something.  But who am I to judge?  Anyway, the place was an impressive display of amazing ways to spend your parents wealth.

Kids at the Biltmore Estate
After our Biltmore tour we found a place downtown to park the RV.  Natalie and I had lunch at Mellow Mushroom while the kids looked for a Subway.  So much for sampling the local cuisine.

Kirk has been bugging us for a movie stop, so after lunch we drove out to the Asheville Mall and let Natalie and Andi do some shopping while we boys saw Two Guns.  I would give the movie 2.5 out of 5 stars.  But it was nice to see it with the boys.

View from the RV window this morning as I type
Before we left the park yesterday morning, we were able to switch to a more premium (aka expensive) space with a better view of the sunset over the mountains.  So after the movie, we zipped back up the mountain to our park and watched the sun set.  

Some clouds rolled in this morning, and I am looking out the window at the mist and some light rain falling over the valley
