THE NITTY GRITTY

HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Day 12

Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 08:54AM

Continuing our walk down memory lane, Nathan and I made the boys go to Biltmore Estate for the day. :) We started with the house tour (and boys decided they could deal with living there and having an indoor bowling alley and heated pool and gym...though they agreed that there would definitely need to be some technology upgrades, lol). (Photography isn't allowed inside, sorry.)

Then we wandered the gardens and greenhouses some. (We know some folks who would LOVE spending time there.) Before we headed back to the car, we finally remembered to get a full group photo. Sadly, I think this may be our first of the trip. ;)

After that, we drove round the estate to a newly opened area to do a late lunch, have some ice cream, and see the Biltmore Legacy exhibit. Asher & Micah enjoyed the farm exhibits, too.

(Stay tuned for the rest of Day 12...)
