We’re in River Ridge LA, just west of New Orleans, sitting in the shade with our coffee and tea on a pleasantly warm morning enjoying the breeze debating as to what we want to do today. We both have a desire to visit the National World War II Museum but neither of us really wants to get involved in the crowds of their D Day Anniversary events nor do we care to deal with traffic or narrow streets or elusive parking places. Instead we may head upriver and visit a plantation house today. History lesson or history lesson? Two good options!
