We arrived just in time for the 1:30pm tour but we were so hungry we had lunch at the on-site restaurant. I had the best gumbo, or maybe I was just so hungry! We were able to get on the 2:30pm tour but had to leave a little early to catch the bus which left at 3:15. I did wish we had a little more time at the plantation. We also got to see additional historic homes and churches on the way, drive through the bayous, and over Lake Pontchartrain. It was a truly unique experience and I'm so glad we got outside the city for a day!
