The weeks following our wedding have been hectic and filled with activities and appointments. We honestly have not been able to catch our breaths since we got back from our honeymoon. From catching up with school and work, to setting up our new apartment, Chase and I really needed some time to just be husband and wife.
Our prayers were answered with a surprise in the mail one day. A family friend of ours sent us free tickets to the Biltmore House. Chase and I have both been to the Biltmore House in the past, but we were in elementary/middle school and have been wanting to go back there together. So we marked off a date on our calendar and set off down the road.
The weather was nasty when we left home. Like 32 degrees and freezing rain nasty. We were scared that the weather at the BH was going to be just as nasty and that our reservation and one chance for a getaway would be ruined. Luckily, the day was perfect! When we arrived in Asheville it was overcast and 55.
The day was just what we needed. We ate brunch at the BH bakery before we toured the house. The quiche that I chose was delicious, and Chase's turkey sandwich hit the spot. The tour of the house was beautiful. We wished that we were able to spend more time inside and see more of the house. My favorite part were all of the kitchens. I think that Chase really enjoyed the architecture. Such an engineer.
After the tour of the house we walked around the gardens (well the plots where the gardens will be in a couple of months) and enjoyed the views of the mountains. We then drove over to the village for a little bit of wine tasting. We found one that we liked and took a bottle home with us to celebrate in the future. On our way we cashed in one of our gift cards and had dinner together at Outback. It is one of our favorites that we don't get to enjoy a whole bunch because 20 bucks for a steak is just crazy when you can make your own at home for 8.
All in all it was the best day. We were able to relax, explore, talk one on one with each other, and just be husband and wife for the day with no distractions. We learned that at least once a month we need a date day or date night to truly reconnect with one another and catch up on life with one another. Married life is beautiful and wonderful and we cannot wait to continue to build more memories together.
Much Love
S & C
