30th Birthday Road Trip: Day 3 - 3. Vanderbilt Mansion NHS

Our first stop today was the Vanderbilt Mansion NHS. It is currently under renovation, which is supposed to be done, but isn't quite finished. Thus, the tour isn't quite what it normally would be with much of the furniture covered and part of the second floor off limits. However, it still was a worthwhile visit. Ranger Dan post here.
