Thank you Sassy and SoKlu. I am trying to remodel the boat. It has some problems in the interior that are driving us nuts. If I ever get the damn thing in condition, maybe I'll have a girls only ef party on it.

Yes that place is unbelievable. I went there a couple of years ago. I know someone the person that ran the stables there, so I was able to see a lot of cool shit. I had a similar feeling when I was walking through the pool room. Weird. I went around the first of January, so there wasnt much flowers, but the mountains looked awesome. I am definitely going back there soon. There are alot of stuff to do in Asheville and surrounding areas.

Anyone who thinks of 4 jokes to respond to that needs to reevaluate their perspective on life.

There is this misconception that peeps with money aren't thrifty in many regards. I still remember how shocked I was when I saw the first wealthy man that I dated clipped coupons! It was SO FUNNY to see this dude with more money than God going through the Sunday paper (a weekly ritual) tearing out coupons.

It is all about spending your money on what YOU feel has value.

I dont know what I find more amusing: wealthy peeps who clip coupons and shop at the dollar store (I know MANY) or the middle class peeps that spend gobs of money on ridiculous items like T's and handbags or sunglasses to advertise to everyone else that they spent a lot of money on that particular thing while they can barely make rent!

its not how much money you make...its how much money you keep...thats why rich people are rich....they keep their money.

thanks for the pics and story Heather....

Yeah, they have now converted the stables into gift shops, an ice cream parlor, restuarant, and coffee shop. I would have liked to have seen the way it used to be.

Did you get to see rooms not open to the public or wander past the roped off areas. It would be cool if they would sell nights in one of the rooms and leave you completely alone to wander among the artifacts. Some of those antiques, though, are priceless.

They had Napolean's chess set. I thought that was really interesting.
