Avery Island





Tuesday was Mardi Gras and Andy didn't have school at the training center.  So we took Grace to Avery Island.  It was so nice.  The weather was beautiful, and so was the scenery on the Island.


Avery Island is the only place in the world that makes Tobasco sauce.  They make 700,000 bottles a day.  We toured the factory, which was very interesting.  Unfortunately since Mardi Gras is a holiday, they weren't bottling sauce that day. 



After the factory, we went into the Jungle Gardens.  The Live Oak trees were just gorgeous. 
I loved the scenery, but Grace was more excited about the wildlife.  There were lots of birds, turtles, and more than just a few alligators.  Some were too close for comfort.






It was a great day for a great field trip.  I'm already thinking of where we can go next!
