    Sounds like a GREAT tour. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make this one. Any chance you can post several interior and exterior photos of each of these homes?

    Thanks!

    Carol, we'll have to check with the owners of the homes to see if they're ok with us posting images. But if we can we will try to make a little picture gallery of this year's tour.
