Mint Juleps in the Alley

I was surprised to find things blooming in Louisiana in February! The weather was perfect!







I just loved exploring Oak Alley. The top of the plantation home would have an awesome view I'm sure, but I didn't get to find out. :(



We weren't allowed in the attic either, we were told it was just used for storage and there was nothing to see there.



I loved how our guides were dressed in the period.



After the tour we were allowed to try Mint Juleps.



Dennis got a fully loaded drink, it's on the right, I got the one on the left, a virgin Mint Julep, made with lemonade.



We got to keep the glasses. :0)

Southern Cemeteries

Of course we stopped in a few cemeteries along our route. This one was a very interesting place, the only one on Tybee Island, Georgia.

I was inthralled with the palms as much as the cemetery, lol. I just love these huge trees!

Such cool "bark"!

See, the palm was in the cemetery, lol.

A very interesting place, with an interesting history.

Another small cemetery we explored featured this indian.

And a few Confederate Soldiers.

I found all these numbered markers together intriguing - cremated remains?

Some very busy ants!

The third cemetery I'm sharing is in Florida, near Jacksonville, but it had so much Spanish Moss that I felt like I was still in Georgia. Isn't this trunk cool?!

See what I mean?

Such beautiful places, full of history.
