My brother and mom love seafood. I think some of it is okay. If you’re ever in New Orleans, this place has amazing food. There are some non-seafood options. Definitely try one of the desserts! Be prepared for a wait to eat here. We went on a couple different nights and it was the only […]
Don’t get eaten! Just kidding, Louisiana hasn’t had many people eaten by alligators. This place started to revitalize the alligator population. Some of their alligators have been the big ones used in movies. Most of them are raised for eating. Or to become wallets. That seems strange, but the guide pointed out that it isn’t […]
Don’t get lost in here! On our way out of town we went to some underground caverns. These are amazing and go so deep inside the earth! Many years ago, some people made something illegal called moonshine down here. The tour was worth the time and I can imagine many stories taking place in these […]
This place is fabulous! You can hold parrots and other beautiful birds! They even have a place with baby birds that will hop onto your hands. There is a place where you can buy food and feed the birds. One of my favorite activities was to buy the nectar and let the birds hang out […]
I love Dolly Parton. I read a biography book for kids, and I think she must be one of the bravest and strongest people. Did you know she was super poor growing up? She had to believe in herself! Her family helped too. It is great to have family. I enjoyed my time at Dollywood. […]
Roooaaar! Don’t get eaten by any of these dinosaurs. My brother is super into dinosaurs, so when we saw the giant sign for Dinosaur World we decided to spend part of the day exploring Dinosaur World. They have some pretty cool dinosaur sculptures on their dino walk. They also have fossils of actual dinosaurs. I […]
We went to see where President Abraham Lincoln was born, and the childhood cabin he spoke of before they moved states. The log cabin is tiny! I can’t imagine living in such a small place with a whole family. I am blessed to have more space. The area was beautiful and enjoyable to explore. The […]
We went to a community Halloween trunk or treat and everyone said we had to try Skyline Chili. We went after the zoo and it filled me with yummy goodness. I never thought to put Chili on top of spaghetti noodles, but now it will be something fun to eat. I wasn’t too sure on […]
Fiona the hippo is one of my favorite stories. Actually, Fiona’s Christmas book has been one of my favorites since I was a toddler. The zoo setup the Christmas display the day before we went, so I got to go see my favorite preemie hippo. The giraffe exhibit is also amazing, and since they’re my […]
This is a recreation of Noah’s Ark. There’s a lot to learn, and the Ark is huge. They showed exhibits of how the animals would have been stored and fed, tool areas, living areas. The best part was finding Eva again so we could play. Now she is my BFF and we talk on the […]
