Ever since watching "Gone With the Wind" as a young girl, I have always dreamed of seeing a real plantation. We visited the Houmas Plantation near Baton Rouge. It was everything I ever dreamed an old plantation house would be and more. The inside of the mansion was more elegant than could be described. I could just imagine Scarelt O'Hare walking down the curved stairs at any minute.
The gardens around this mansion were fantastic. Everywhere there were fountains and gardens and flowers. There was even spanish moss on the oak trees.
This oak tree was over 600 years old. It was huge!!!
It was hard to leave such a beautiful place. My dream had certainly come true.
This is the Baton Rouge Temple. A small temple, but so special.
