Now we will take you back in time to the 1830's on a Sugar Plantation on the Mississippi


Along the Mississippi we saw several old Plantations from the road
-

-

-

This is what greets you from the street of the plantation we visited
It is called Oak Alley for obvious reasons
-

After eating lunch in the Plantation Restaurant we were greeted by period costumed folks
My daughter would love the dresses
-

The rooms were all done in 1830's period furniture
-

Here is view of some of the gardens off of the porch
-

One last look at the house before we go
-

Well guess what, more severe thunderstorms on the way to Mississippi
Just after we left this area a report of a tornado touchdown was reported
What is it about me that attacks these storms when we travel
-


The rest of the trip up to Mississippi was uneventful
Tomorrow we are going to try and do a little more genealogy and visit the Vicksburg National Battlefield
