Nottoway Plantation




What an awesome 4 day weekend we have had!
On Friday we got our new kitchen counters installed! They are so much better than the beautiful avocado green we had! We got white quartz and I love how clean it looks! (So our kitchen only has a few minor things left to do and then it will finally be finished...then it will be time to start on the foyer and dining room..AHHHHH! Our house renovations seem to never end!)
Saturday we started our adventures of being a Louisiana Tourist. (For those of you that don't know, that is what we have decided to do all summer. We aren't taking a big vacation, we are just going to take long weekend road trips and be tourist in Louisiana.) We drove down River Road which is one of our favorite things to do! We went to White Castle and toured Nottoway Plantation. The house itself is just amazing but the tour sucked! I have gone on it number of times in the past and they used to show so much more of the house. Now they charge a lot more and you only get to see a few rooms...very disappointing! It was really nice just being there, it is so beautiful. Then we went to Houmas House. Our tour guide was the best. She was so animated and into the telling the stories...you know that I just love that! She made it so much fun. Tatum had such a great time that she has even begged me to please get her an antebellum dress!!! She cried when we were leaving because she wanted to stay! Reagan wants us to go on a haunted tour of the Myrtles, so I think we will go do that on our next road trip! Then we had dinner at The Cabin Restaurant. They had a wedding going on in the back with a band playing so it was fun. The food was just as awesome as I remembered it!
Sunday we wanted to go check out other plantations on River Road, but is was raining so we turned around and went to the French Quarter instead. It was a little cloudy, but it never did rain on us. We stumbled upon a little hole in the wall antique store, where we bought chairs for the kitchen. We found our new favorite place to eat in the Quarter, The Chartres House Cafe. The girls loved watching the guys do their show by the steps in front of Jackson Square. I can't believe those guys still do that, they are good but they have been doing those head spins and jumps for a long time now! We didn't want our day to end, so we went to see Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian. We were all so excited to see it and it was really good. Tatum passed out as soon as it started and then cried the entire way home because she missed it!
Today we've been taking it easy. It has been raining on and off all day. I had PT and Wayne had a few things to do. Tomorrow is Reagan's last day of school. They have to go on Wednesday, but it is just a two hour mass.
Tomorrow is Reagan's first swim meet....we are all very excited!
