Natchez



There is a town in Mississippi that Michael and I have fallen for...Natchez. It is right on the Mississippi River. Such a picture perfect small town, like one you would see in the movies!

This picture was from last October when we went and it was the weekend for the Great Mississippi Balloon Race. We have been looking forward to going back ever since!

We stayed at the Monmouth Plantation and it is amazing! It was voted one of the "500 Most Romantic Hotels" in the world!


The plantation is set up on a hill so you pull in the driveway and look up...and there it is. It looks very majestic.

The first time we stayed here, we stayed in the main house in one of the rooms. This was the view outside the room upstairs...so lovely.


This past weekend, we stayed in one of the old "servants houses" on the property. It's pretty nice too :)


They also have the most YUMMY breakfasts every morning! Oh so good! I don't have any pictures but think quaint building nestled in the trees with breakfast and coffee waiting...perfect :)

On this trip, there was no festival or very many people. We just had a quiet, relaxing weekend away. So nice! But...we are always glad to get back to Texas!
