Sunday, Bill actually got the day off!! YAY! After hearing about our adventures at the Tabasco Factory, he was JEALOUS! We decided that we would just take a scenic drive down south, and if we ended up at the Tabasco Factory, then so be it! LOL!! Before we could leave town, however, we had to run a couple of errands.....Best Buy for a new laptop charger (Bill's broke) and T-Mobile to order a replacement cell phone (my new one broke).
Our first stop on our scenic drive was to New Iberia to visit the Shadows on the Teche Plantation. Unfortunately, the cost to tour the plantation was too steep for us.....and, okay, I was hungry.....so, we visited the gift shop for some souvenirs and then headed on to lunch.
Then because we were actually so close, I drove us back to Avery Island. Bill loved the Tabasco tour!! At the country store, He and Em tried out the Tabasco Ice Cream....a little weird they thought. Bill, Em and Hayley also tried a fresh batch of Tabasco Chili which they loved!! We had to buy a bottle of it to make at home!!
Where to next? Sydney had found a place called Jefferson Island in one of our many brochures, and really wanted to go there. We had no idea what there was to do, but hey we were just out cruisin', right? Jefferson Island is another one of the salt formed islands in southern Louisiana. It was named after Joseph Jefferson who was an actor, artist and author back in the 1800s. When we arrived there, we found a place called Rip Van Winkle Gardens that was beautiful gardens, bed & breakfast, cafe and mansion!!! Unfortunately, we arrived too late to begin a tour of it all, so I promised Sydney we would go back the next day. The girls picked up a couple of souvenirs in the gift shop, then we headed back to the hotel where I discovered my email was broken and we had dinner and more arcade fun.
