Biltmore Forest and Lunch at McDonalds

We took a drive to Biltmore Forest Village.  It is a planned residential community with a rich cultural history. The Town was planned by the best professional planners of their day.  Mr. C. D. Beadle who had associated with the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted of Boston, planned the protection, preservation, and perfection of the natural beauty of the area that is now known as Biltmore Forest.  He was involved in the design of New York's Central Park, the U. S. Capitol grounds in Washington D.C., and the grounds of the Biltmore Estate.  And you could drive through, no entry gate or guard.  Most of the homes had large lawns and many trees.  Here are some pictures that I copied from real estate ads as we couldn't get good pictures of the homes.


This will at least give you an idea of what the homes look like.


We did some pictures of the golf course.  This is the clubhouse.


The putting green.


A water hole.


And a cart path.


After our drive we went to Biltmore Village for lunch at McDonald's.


Believe me I have never seen a McDonald's like this. The ceiling was awesome.


They even had a player piano.


The dining room.


Prices are the same, but it is a very nice place to dine.  Dining at McDonald's.
