I love seeing Biltmore through the eyes of my grandchildren.  We have visited many times and I love that they "get it."  The oldest has asked a couple times for a rooftop tour.  Usually I have all three of them and the youngest, who is five,  is just too young to do it at this time.  It requires quite a bit of walking and climbing over 250 stairs. On the tour you are in high places, and tight spaces. And like I said, he is just not ready for it. :) But recently,  I had Brady, who is 10, alone for a few days. I knew this was the right time so I scheduled our tour. We had a wonderful day, one I will never forget. Brady was so excited and was inquisitive, attentive, and polite. We had the most wonderful guide, Michael, who obviously loves Biltmore. It was evident in every word he spoke. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the house and told us lovely stories that made the house come alive. He was so kind to answer all of Brady's questions and mine too. For those of us who love Biltmore, it is magical to see her capture yet another soul in her web. She has captured Brady.  And this Nana is happy.... and blessed.
