Tax free cigarettes maybe?
Asheville/Biltmore is in plans too, that's closer to you. :)
Hey - you guys OK? Just heard of bad storms down there and worried for yourselves and your critters.
Ooooo, you'll LOVE the Biltmore. I've been there a couple of times. Once in the fall and once in December when they have it decorated for Christmas. Both were GORGEOUS. They have several different tours besides the main house. There's one where they take you into the areas where the servants lived and worked and tell you all about their daily lives. The social hierarchy of the place was facinating. Some of the upper level servants even had servants. Then there's another one where you get to see the nuts and bolts of the place, like up on the roof and down in the basement where the power generation equipment was. My husband liked this one coz he's an electrical engineer. You have to pay extra for these tours but to me, they were well worth it. But you can't do them all in just one day. The NTRC also used to have a Competitive Trail Ride every year on the estate. They have miles and miles of carriage roads and trails. I always wanted to compete in this one, but it's about an 8 hour haul for me so I never got up the nerve. I don't know if they even still do it.
