Christmas in Cajun Country

We spent the end of November and December in Louisiana visiting family. For Christmas we went to Saint Francisville, LA to visit family and spend some time.

Saint Francisville, La is beautiful. If you imagine the heart of cajun country with huge moss filled Live Oaks, Plantation and old Acadian style homes, ornate churches, this is the place to visit.

Not to mention there are legit hills here. Which makes the terrain even more interesting. The weather much of the time we were here (see, it followed us again) was icky, so we made the days count that we got out of the RV. My uncle has a lovely place and we took advantage of being able to grab a fishing pole and go fish. The kids had a blast playing with cousins and roaming around.

St. Francisville has a “Christmas in the Country” every year that is worth going to. Shopping in the old downtown, seeing all the Christmas decorations, live nativity at a local church and “A Dickens Christmas” at one of the plantations. We got to tour the home, watch victorian style dancing and eat roasted chestnuts. Which, we all came to the conclusion that despite the Christmas carols singing their praises, they are just nasty.

We toured Rosedown Plantation which has a neat history.

After Christmas with family in Louisiana, it was time to head to Texas for another Christmas and to see more family and friends!

~Enjoy the journey!
