    Bed and Breakfast: The Orchid in Jackson, Mississippi

    4 January 2025 / 0 Comments

    One of The Hubs and my favorite things to do is to go to historic towns for a little sightseeing and antiquing. Rather than stay at hotels, we prefer the coziness and friendliness of B&Bs. For the last weekend in 2024, The Hubs and I were joined by my sister and her husband at The Orchid in Jackson, Mississippi. A few weeks ago, I was mindlessly scrolling Instagram when I came across a video of a young lady happily dancing around a beautiful historic home, so, naturally, I had to click through, read the caption, and find out what she was talking about.

    For years, every time my family wanted to go somewhere we had to take two vehicles because there wasn’t enough room in one car for everyone. Truth be told, the only time it really became an issue was when we wanted to take a vacation or visit family but, for the most part, we were all on different schedules so we rarely traveled en masse until we moved here. Now things are different. We want to hang out together. So the hubs and I started talking and praying about trading in my car for something bigger. We told God the desires of our hearts and explained that we didn’t want…
