Oak Alley Plantation

If you want a nice day trip you could photograph even more along The River Road between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Our photos are of Oak Alley, Evergreen, Laura, and St. Joseph.

The Prom

Great Road Trips

We have been on some fascinating roads, so I will start sharing about them as I remember them. Just click on Great Road Trips to read about some of the places we recommend for a drive. If I have photos, I will have links in my posts. A really great site I can recommend lists scenic roads for all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. I wish they had more specifics about the roads’ locations, though. Continue reading Great Road Trips
