Arriving in Asheville, North Carolina and a Visit to the Biltmore Estate

The other girls were so excited for Perrin to arrive!  They were very impressed with her beautiful, colorful hair....and her clean nose!  Perrin spent her first day here resting from her long journey.  The next morning was a beautiful, sunny day.

"I want to see a castle"  Perrin said.  And so we took her to see a castle, or at least as close to a castle as we can get around here.  "Even the sign is big!" she said.

She wanted to pose for a picture as we approached the "castle", better known as the Biltmore House.

"Peek-a-boo!"

And you may not know what a brave girl little Perrin is.  She quickly made friends with the BIG lion.

And the SCARY gargoyles.

She made a LOT of new friends in the toy store.

But one of her favorite new friends was the beautiful fairy.  She admired her gossamer wings for a long, long time.

After she visited the "castle", it was time to visit the farm where, you guessed it, she made even more new friends.
