Anorexia

Happy New Years EVE! In about 7 hours, it will be 2011!  In celebration of this occasion, we are now watching The Sorcerers Apprentice in our hotel room! Clad in white robes and beige socks, my parents are eating cookies in the two sofa chairs and me and nick are slouched and moody like all good teenagers should be. (I don't know what my parents excuse is...)
Later tonight our plans will get a little more exciting though, don't you worry.  We have made reservations at the Biltmore Estate Hotel (ON the B. Estate, but not the actual Biltmore Castle Building Thing.  If that makes sense) for a New Years Eve dinner.  Our reservations are for 9 p.m., and then after we will return to the hotel room and probably watch the ball drop on ABC and eat some more.
Surprisingly enough, we actually DO venture out of our cozy hotel room.  We actually just came back from the tour of the Biltmore that we took and lunch.  (Of course, everything we do has to some how involve food.)  But the tour was really nice! The place was amazing.  Everything was so huge and...fancy!  The most impressive area was the indoor pool.  It was SO deep and HUGE! And FANCY!  The entire house was five floors...the main floor included the GIANT dinning room...the next floor up included the guests' quarters (The Vanderbilts rented out rooms for friends and family) and the third floor held the Vanderbilts' rooms.  (Mrs. Vanderbilt had pink crown molding.  Some things don't change)  Then the basement floor had the maids and butlers quarters, (They had over 30 maids and butlers back in the day)  then the POOL, and a mini BOWLING ALLEY, EXERCISE ROOM and kitchen.  The very highest floor wasn't apart of our tour (the jerks...) but it was still such a cool thing to see.
After the tour, we ate at a place called Rezaz, which was kinda good and weird at the same time.

As for yesterday, we drove around the HUMONGOUS Estate, and had lunch (More food!) at The Biltmore Estate Hotel Thingy, which was pretty darn good. (Which is why we decided we're going to eat there tonight) After we went to Antler Hill Village (Also inside the Estate.) and looked inside the shops and stuff.  Then we drove to a local grocery store (NOT inside the Estate) and picked up stuff for Pasta! And we ate! At the hotel. (In our fancy mini kitchen) We watched another movie. While we ate cookies.

My family is anorexic.

Happy New Years Eve once again, and best wishes for 2011!

I'm off to go eat-I mean, watch a movie!

Love,
Danielle
