Biltmore - 2nd Day

You actually need 2 days to see everything so back we went this morning.  Some more interesting facts about the house itself.  When you first enter the main room you are struck by the sheer enormity of the room.  The ceiling is 7 stories high.  Over a 6yr period, 1000 craftsman worked to build the home.  It would eventually feature 4 acres of floor space, 250 rooms, 34 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, and 65 fireplaces.  It was also the first home in America that had its own indoor bowling alley and a huge pool that was 12ft deep.  There were buttons all along the pool edge where the guest could push for refreshments.
Moving on tomorrow to Irmo, SC and easy 2.5 hr drive and then the next day finds us back in the Myrtle Beach area for 7 days before returning to Jekyll on the 26th.
