Happy,Happy,Happy


Hubby had one request on vacation, it was to stop and see Duck Commander. He loved seeing this place. We were there Memorial Day and this place was so busy. We did not get to see any of the guys from the show, but it still made hubby Happy,Happy,Happy.

Oak Alley

This is a view from the road to the house.


We toured this beautiful plantation home on vacation. This plantation is famous for the alley of oaks that lead from the front door down the path and to the River Road in front of the house. These trees are planted 80 feet apart and they are at least 100 years older than the house. The trees are believed to be planted between 1725 and 1750.

This is a view from the house to the road.

Slaves would boil the sugarcane in these large kettles to make molasses. 



This is what the slave quarters looked like. They are double sided and a family of 5 slept in each side. These things are tiny on the inside. These are really like an efficiency apartment.
and the other side
