I was surprised to find things blooming in Louisiana in February! The weather was perfect!
I just loved exploring Oak Alley. The top of the plantation home would have an awesome view I'm sure, but I didn't get to find out. :(
We weren't allowed in the attic either, we were told it was just used for storage and there was nothing to see there.
I loved how our guides were dressed in the period.
After the tour we were allowed to try Mint Juleps.
Dennis got a fully loaded drink, it's on the right, I got the one on the left, a virgin Mint Julep, made with lemonade.
We got to keep the glasses. :0)
Looks like a nice trip and I would like to try your version of the Mint Julep!
ReplyDeleteI love New Orleans!! As long as I go in the winter!! Love the old Southern Plantations...and the Virgin Mint Julep sounds delicious!!
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to go back for another tour. I still have my free glass. ;)
ReplyDeletegotta have a good sweaty hot day for a julep to taste right, i'd reckon!
ReplyDeleteI think I want to come and hang out with you! You go to the coolest places!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea a mint julep was so much alcohol. I thought it was a ladies drink. whew.
