Grove Park Inn...

After exploring Biltmore Estate, we went to see the Grove Park Inn. This impressive hotel has been open since 1913 and has hosted many famous guests. We also visited the hotel to see the National Gingerbread House Competition. There were many awesome creations made out of gingerbread, snacks and sweets. And so ends the blogs about our time in Asheville, North Carolina. Thanks Alex and Sharon for being amazing hosts!
