Beautiful Pictures of Biltmore House

I went to Biltmore House, the largest private house in the country, in Asheville, NC last weekend. I just thought I'd share my pictures with you.





















My weekend at the beach



I traveled to South Carolina with my boyfriend Jack and his friends in April 2009. We did the usual sunbathing, swimming routine, but we also chartered a small fishing boat and went deep sea fishing. Our boat went really, really fast. I have never been out on the ocean in a smallish boat, so I was pretty much terrified the whole time.

Most of the time while we were fishing, the captain kept the boat moving at a slow speed. He would help us with our fish when we caught one and while he was away from the wheel, the boat kept moving. There were quite a few boats pretty close to us, so I kept praying we wouldn't run into one of them. I was really surprised to see several boats far smaller than ours out in the ocean. They almost looked too small to cruise a lake in, much less the ocean! The picture above shows our catch-all Spanish mackerel. Fish is my favorite food, yum!
