It was a lovely long weekend in Asheville, hiking, touring Biltmore and otherwise enjoying fall. Here’s a roundup of the rest of the best!

Touring the Big House
Biltmore, the largest privately owned home in the US, lived up to the expectations – taking more than an hour to walk through the areas open to the public (not even counting the gardens and other grounds). The audio tour made it informative, and the boys thoroughly enjoyed the kids’ version.
Fall Foliage Hike
It was our first trip to Asheville, and one of the best hikes according to the interwebs was the Triple Falls in Dupont Forest – made famous by Last of the Mohicans or, more recently, Hunger Games. We came, we conquered the inclines and even enjoyed ourselves (except one of us the last stretch on…
Labor Day in P-A
We hopped in the car this Labor Day Weekend and headed west to Nemacolin, a resort in the Allegheny Mountains. We were spoiled with cool pools, all the mini golf we could handle, milk and cookies every night, good food and lots of activities. We spent our first full day pretty scheduled out with fun…
Sweden for the Day
While we had plenty to do in Denmark, it was fun to tick another country off the list and head to Sweden for the day – specifically Malmo. We enjoyed art and history at Malmo Castle, walked the downtown and ate well before heading back for what some considered the highlight of the trip –…
Kobenhavn Danmark
Copenhagen was a fun change of pace from Billund and all the Lego – though there were plenty of Lego stores to be found. We got exposed to a bit more culture and history, though one of the oldest amusement parks in the world kept it light and fun, too! Our home base at City…
Lego House!
While Legoland was amazing, Lego House in Billund is something special. There are hours of interactive exhibits that show how fun the colorful bricks can be, and then there is a floor of history and exhibits showing why Lego is famous worldwide.
Legoland Away from Home
We loved our time at Legoland Florida, but being at the home of Lego, this trip hit a little bit different! We spent time hitting all the favorite rides multiple times, stocking up on treats and getting in our steps! Of course, we had to stop by the Lego store on the way out!
Home of Lego
Our big summer adventure was to Denmark, where the first stop was Billund, home to the most famous brick in the world – Lego! We stayed at the Castle Hotel and made the most of our stay with several days of Lego-filled adventures at Legoland and Lego House!
