We went to Asheville, NC today to the Grove Park Inn to meet our friends Bob and Anna and to see the Gingerbread House Competition.
The Inn is beautiful! The fireplaces are HUGE!
These are carved into a few of the rocks on the fireplace.
Lots and lots of gingerbread houses...
I think the only rule was that everything has to be edible, everything!
It was a rainy day, a good day to be inside!
The Inn reminded me of The Balsams Resort in New Hampshire.
And we thought we had a lot of rock walls!
The halls were decked...
The spa down below.
This was my favorite, remember all edible!
The main lobby, with carolers in the distance.
Sleigh and reindeer...check.
And there we are!
Bob and Anna in the front and Stu and I in the back.
And that is Anna's friend Sherry in front this time.
This is the grand prize winner for 2012.
All the little trees down the hallways were all decorated differently, this one had a wine theme.
This was the winner for the child category (5-8) "The house at Pooh corner". Very cute, that's a pretty talented 5-8 year old!
