Family Vacation - Asheville & Wytheville
Friday and Saturday were travel days, but we spent fun time together. After checking out of our hotel, we drove across the street to Biltmore Village. We started our day at the Cathedral of All Souls, the Episcopal Cathedral, built by George Vanderbilt. It's a beautiful church, with stained glass windows made by a father and daughter team who were contemporaries of Tiffany. The church was designed as the connecting piece of the community. This window was dedicated to George Vanderbilt's father, Cornelius Vanderbilt. From the Church, we went to the New Morning Gallery where they have "Art for Living". It's a gorgeous gallery that contains works of over 200 artisans. I think we spent a couple hours there, and Linda and I both bought small pieces there. If you're looking for gorgeous artwork, made by local artisans, this is the place to look.
