Ok, if you haven't ever been to the Spring Pilgrimage in Natchez, MS you absolutely MUST go! Last weekend, my mom and I went on a belated birthday trip (for her) to Natchez to partake in their spring pilgrimage festivities. It was too much fun! We stayed at the cutest bed & breakfast,The Dr's In, right in the heart of downtown Natchez. We were so close to everything that we walked just about everywhere we went the whole weekend. We had delicious suppers at The Castle at Dunleith and Magnolia Grill. We had the best lunch at Cotton Alley Cafe. We toured two mansions, Rosalie and Longwood and three homes: Texada, The Burn and Twin Oaks. Twin Oaks and The Burn also serve as working b&b's...they were super neat! We also took a fun carriage tour which I highly recommend. Being the bookworm that I am, I had to see the Turning Angel statue in the Natchez City Cemetary. Kinda creepy, I know, BUT I absolutely love Greg Iles (his books are so good) and this statue was the title of the very first book that I read of his.
I'm already ready to go back for the Fall Pilgrimage in October...I love Natchez!! Check out their pilgrimage website
here to plan your trip!
