Before touring the home, we walked on a short trail through the woods.



The tall, airy home was built in 1806 and is surrounded by beautiful old live oaks.




This is the path leading to the kitchen.



The grounds also include slave cabins and a barn.


This turkey was not happy to have his picture made. He kept ruffling his feathers at me.

I handed the camera to Mason so there’s even a picture of me and G this time.

I love family outings. We definitely need to do this more often.


I just love southern architecture. Great photos of your outing!!

ReplyDeleteWhat quality time you all had. I can't get over that turkey -we're not used to seeing those types often in Scotland. That tail looks like it's a paper fan.
