Our last and final day of our 8th graders’ Louisiana Tour adventure began with a trip to St. Joseph Plantation and Felicity Plantation. Students were able to delve into the state's rich history and honor those who paved the way. We enjoyed a delightful lunch experiencing Cajun cuisine. Our final stop at Avery Island added a spicy finale to our unforgettable journey. Heading back home with hearts fuller and taste buds spicier than ever! #LouisianaTour #Louisiana History #AveryIsland
Embarking on Louisiana Tour Day #2, we delved into history at the World War II Museum, honoring brave souls and learning the pivotal events that shaped our world. Our journey continued with a delightful lunch on a paddle wheel boat, cruising the Mississippi River, and exploring the historic battlegrounds of Chalmette. Wrapping up day 2, we embarked on a fascinating walking tour of New Orleans' historical sites, followed by a fantastic time at Dave and Buster's. Stay tuned for more updates as our adventure unfolds! #LouisianaTour #WWIIMuseum #MississippiRiver #ChalmetteBattleGrounds #NewOrleans #HistoryAndFun
