Day 70... Swan House

The Historic Swan House was on our FUN agenda today as it was a FREE ADMISSION DAY for Home Schoolers. The Swan House is "an elegant, classically styled mansion" that was built in 1928 for the Inman family. It is "known as one of the most photographed places in Atlanta."

The kids loved the inside and kept comparing it to The Biltmore. They thought Biltmore was prettier on the outside and obviously way larger with much nicer gardens. However, they all agreed that the inside of The Swan House was lighter, airier and decorated better. I couldn't help but laugh at their comparisons of the two homes. Before July they had never heard of The Biltmore, and now they are suddenly design experts.

There was NO photography inside at Swan House so I have only outside pictures. Love the one of the girls and I. Carson was my photographer for this.. Thanks Bear!!

  1. I cannot believe that we were there at the same time - in the same place even, and did not see each other! LOVE the picture of you and the boys - it is a perfect shot? Kenna?

  2. No Lesli that would be Maddie.. :) It is a little out of focus which is why Carson's photo of the girls and I was the winner of the day. Cameron Diaz was there today?? I am amazed that we did not see each other. Seems like we even arrived at the same time. :)
