A while back, Ethan surprised me with my very first adventure down south for our 6 month anniversary. We spent a few days in Gatlinburg, Tennessee enjoying the mountains and another day out in Asheville, North Carolina enjoying The Biltmore Estate.

The Biltmore was the mansion owned by the Vanderbilts and my oh my was it an impressive sight.

There’s definitely a reason it’s known across the land as the American Castle. Have a look and see for your yourself.

I have to admit that before my visit, I had never considered neither Asheville, nor The Biltmore Mansion a travel must-see in my life. But, that’s just another thing I adore about Ethan. He is always showing me my favorite things that I never even knew I’d love.

Where was the last place you visited that you didn’t expect to adore?
