On the set of The Originals!!!!

Ok, so we had the pleasure of going to the set of The Originals.  My brother-in-law, Bart, and his fiancé, Ashley, are writers for the show so they gave us a tour.  First, we went to the set where they were filming a flash back scene at a cemetery.  We watched on the monitors as they filmed a scene over and over haha.  I could've been there all day!  The scene was between the very talented, Joseph Morgan, and a few new actors to the show.  It was so cool to see the way everything was set up and the many people that take part in this process.  We walked around met some cool people, went to the snack table (probably the girl's favorite part) and finally, before leaving, met Joseph Morgan. I basically died.  He was so sweet and charming!! He came out to say hi to us, introduced himself and said he was embarrassed by his costume (he looked perfect!) I will forever regret not taking a picture with him though :(

Me with my soon to be Sister-in-law.  She's the sweetest!

After meeting Joseph I was pretty much done with everything, I was in such a high.  The next stop was the production offices where they have all the sets.  We saw their offices, met some people, and saw all the cool sets

New Orleans and the Mikaelson compound

More of the compound and the courtyard

The details of every room were pretty amazing

I poured everyone a drink, lol, it was apple juice

Cami's apartment and Hayley's  room (that's me in Hayley's  tub)

We then went to check out the bayou and the cemetery.

What a great day!  It was so much fun to see how everything is done and how much work goes into putting together the show. After getting something to eat, we drove over to Covington to check out The Mystic Grill.  The mystic grill is from The Vampire Diaries.  They don't film there anymore, but they did at first. We had some drinks there and walked around the town square. It is such a cute town and if you watch the show, you'll recognize the clock tower and the surroundings.
