We went with some friends to do a plantation tour. It was probably the muggiest, warm day that we have had here yet. We started with Oak Alley, which is the most photographed plantation here. It gets its name from the fact that a French settler planted 28 oak trees equally apart about 300 years ago. The result is worth the trip.
Our next outing was to the Audoban Aquarium in New Orleans. There is a ferry not far from where we live that takes us right to it .
Shawn's mom came for a two week visit so we all played tourist together. She is on her way back home today and we will miss her.
We have quite a long list of places and things yet to see. Be prepared.

I know I have seen that plantation in a movie or mini-series at some point--it is stunning. There is just something about the south.
So glad you're enjoying your new territory =).
wow, how beautiful! Isn't it funny to think that all those years ago there were people settling new land and planting these tiny trees that they would never really be able to appreciate?
beautiful...and Tyler will be there soon!
