We are leaving this morning on a trip that will take us through 17 states before we return home.
Our first stop will be the historic Poché Plantation, located on the river road that runs by several beautiful plantations near Convent, Louisiana. In addition to the RV park, Poché features sixteen acres of landscaped lawns surrounding a beautiful two-story plantation home that was built in the 1800’s. Each room in the house is furnished with some of the finest Victorian antiques from that era. It was one of the last plantation homes to be built on the Mississippi River.
When I called for a one-night reservation, the gentleman on the other end of the line was slightly offended. I could almost picture him drawing himself up to full height and peering down his nose as he said “Sir, we are a destination resort facility. Our guests always stay for at least a week.”
He was somewhat mollified when I told him that we hoped to spend more time with them in the future, but that Poché was just the first stop on a six week trip.
