Houmas House Plantation and Gardens Tours March 23, 2007
Darrow, Louisiana 70725
To begin, every visitor receives souvenier beads with a Houmas House medallion and a commemorative hand fan, complete with a litany of "fanning gestures" used by southern belles to communicate feelings, attitudes, status and intentions. Tour guides are more than happy to answer questions or engage requests for more information. The plantation is staffed with plenty of guides to keep groups small and the presentation tailored to what is most interesting to guests. Whether you're being guided through the mansion with its artwork, artifacts and antiques or discovering the beauty of the immaculate gardens and grounds, you will quickly understand that a visit to Houmas House Plantation and Gardens is a unique experience.

I'll be looking for somewhere central and child/buggy friendly, ideas welcome.

Shame, I don't think I can join you all for this one. Great idea!

Looking forward to meeting you all if I can make it. Was looking out for you last Friday Rosie but on again next month. Back to you all with a date when I find my diary! A very energetic group of Self Employed Super Mums it was to be sure. Would love another geek girl to come along though as they are still scratching their heads a little when I talk about the joys of my blogging course (end Sept at Varndean College. Mmmm).

If it's going to be a large group, you may want to book a table somewhere like Carluccios or Strada. Alternatively Wagamamas is a popular option.

Can't book tables at Wagamama's, but in case you can't recognise a group of geeks I will let the staff know who we are.

I am going to try and make it, but it all depends on whether the plumber has managed to fix my boiler before 12. He's been at it for 2 hours now and still no sign of success so far. If I don't make it, have fun!
