Kelli, I happen to like the shot of "the boys"... something about being married to a man who comes from a house full of boys. My husband comes from a family of six boys (with a girl right in the middle). There were also six nephews -- no neices... that is, until we had our girls!

This is a photo of my home from the front entrance
Okay, I'm relying on some college knowledge here (and it's been a long time since college), but isn't that Chateau Blois?
:D ...no. It's actually the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC
It's the largest residential home in the US.
It is a pretty impressive place. I highly recommend going if you are ever in the area. The only downfall is the ticket prices. It's like $60 or something like that. I can go to Disney World for that!! :P
It is worth doing 1 time though. It's one of those things that you are marveled the entire time you are there.
They produce wine from there now...if anyone is a wine drinker, do you have Biltmore Wine in your area?....when you live in the area of something like The Biltmore House you see it everywhere, so I'm curious how far they reach.
Image
Okay, so I'm anal... I had to look up Chateau de Blois and figure out why the heck I thought the Biltmore House was Blois... ah ha...Same staircase! (although Chateau de Blois was constructed between the 13th and 17th centuries) Mystery solved. [smilie=battingeyes.gif]

Many a day I sat in senior English class on one of those cloudless days out in NW Houston and stared at downtown rising up over the horizon. To this day I can spot a Houston skyline picture immediately when it flashes by on the television.
It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight.

Aww..that made me smile! :D :D :D

I wish I could get a good pic of the downtown skyline. Our building is right in the heart of it all, so it makes it difficult for me to get a shot like that from where I am. I have a few looking out South/Southwest.

I took this one a few weeks ago while I was eating lunch on the garage rooftop. Nothing spectacular, I took it because I can remember a time when the Hyatt looked like the tallest building downtown..... look at her now... :lol: :lol: :lol:
