Grove Park Inn

We braved the crowds and headed for the Grove Park Inn to see the annual Gingerbread House display.

Here we are in the driveway, all cleaned up and ready to go...

Arriving at the Grove Park Inn, Aunt Marian asks if she
should push the cart of firewood into the lobby.  :)

Sitting to rest in one of the vintage GPI chairs. We had
walked the hallway with all the old memorbilia from
the early days of the Inn. Saw a bill from 1917 when the
rooms were $17 a night and a photo of Edison, Ford and
Firestone when they stayed there.

These are some creations from the youth division.

These are some of our favorites in the adult contest.

Our server took our photo as we enjoyed the buffett.
Had a window seat and watched the clouds move
over Mt. Pisgah, down the French Broad River into Asheville.

Another rest stop and some people watching.

A passerby offers to take our photo as we wonder over the dozen decorated Christmas trees.

We had a fun afternoon touring the Grove Park Inn!
