Jonah in the slave quarters at Laura Plantation. We stopped and visited some old sugarcane plantations along the Mississippi River on our way to New Orleans. This plantation was where the story of Briar Rabbit was told over many generations of African slaves and then finally recorded into the story we all know.
Aren't my boys adorable? Jonah, Grae and Easy...
Laura Plantation. It was a Creole plantation that was run for four generations by women (a very rare feat, especially in the 18th and 19th Centuries.)
My boys on Bourbon Street.
Granger and Ezra walking up Bourbon Street.
Here we are standing outside the Acme Oyster House in the French Quarter. This restaurant was featured on Man vs. Food and my family LOVES raw oysters. Lynn wanted to go here for his birthday. By the long line, we knew it had to be good!
Cora and her oyster.
Ezra stuck to the jambalaya because everyone else was fighting over the oysters and he didn't even know what was going on.
