Ok, so now I know how the other half live. We decided last Christmas that instead of exchanging gifts, we'd go to the Biltmore in Ashville, NC for the weekend. We are staying at the Inn at Biltmore! WOW! And I do mean WOW! People falling all over you to help you. I felt out of place the minute I walked through the doors. lol We have a room with a balcony, amazing view. Color everywhere, so many flowers, trees and shrubs blooming. But not everything, you see lots of buds still waiting to burst with more color. I love the beach, but there is something so tranquil about the mountains. It is impossible to not find calmness in them. (well, at least for me)
In the evening, someone comes in to turn down your bed. They leave the chocolate and a single rose on the bed. Oh and of course there are robs for Ray and I as well as slippers!
We go to breakfast this morning, it's included in our package, and there is fine china and SILVERware including a fancy little coffee cup, not a mug! I wanted to take a picture to post on my blog, but Ray was too embarrassed... lol We sat looking out at the mountains while eating. We ate way too much, the buffet was huge, not to mention the fresh, custom made omelets. Not to worry though, I'm sure we walked 8 miles or more today! We had a light lunch and had reservations for dinner, but I canceled them. Too tired to eat a fancy, huge dinner.
I have to admit it's fun to be pampered sometimes. But I know I will be happy to return to the "real" world on Sunday. I was definitely not cut out to live the "upper crust" life. But for the next day and a half, I will relish living like the other half.
