Traveling to Covington, LA (Part 4)

This morning we started the day with brunch in the main dining room of Annadele plantation just after checking out of our room. Brunch like everything else hear was incredible. I had the shrimp and grits that was like a very traditional New Orleans style shrimp and grits. Lady Gywnivere had the Crab Cake Benedict. This was a special dish on the menu which included poached eggs set atop crab cakes served with sugar snap peas and brandant potatoes. In the traditional southern plantation antebellum style, I had two mint juleps with brunch. My wife also had one. I like mine with Woodford Reserve whiskey. Lady Gwynivere had hers with Captain Morgans' rum.

Even though our weekend stay at Annadelle came to an end, we made the most of the quest home. Our adventuring took us to the I-12 flea market. I rarely find things to buy at these swap meets, however my wife always does. So I have accepted my role as the one that holds the merchandise that she purchases. She had found an owl necklace, a worry-ring and scented bar of soap called twilight woods. Of course, when you stop at a flea market, you have to get a funnel cake. Delicious!

Our second and last stop on the way home brought us to Ponchatuola, LA where we found the biggest antique store we had ever seen. It's called C.J.'s Antiques and collectibles. I can't even guess how many thousands of square footage this place has. They had a little of everything here from antique farming tools, bone china, hollywood memorabilia, records, furniture and everything in between. Lady Gywnivere found a lovely rosary bracelet, solid blue planter with a man and women figurine attached and also a small cherub statue. The weather for the whole weekend could not have been any nicer for us. Annadele plantation was a wonderful place to visit and we will definitely be planning to return soon.
