  Summer time, and the livin' is easy... well at least here at my Sugar Palace. I can't think of a better time of year to wear a big hat and nap under these gorgeous shade trees than summer!  And I highly suggest lingering over a long lunch during your visit.
While strolling the gardens you'll notice perfect little paths are carved into the gardens to make your exploration easier. And let's not forget the Turtle Bar. A summer day wouldn't be complete without a mint julep or afternoon cocktail while waiting to start your tour of the mansion.  I hope to see you soon enjoying my mansion and gardens. Don't forget to wear your best summer hat!
  
Love,

Princess Grace
