    Fishing was always one of my favorite things to enjoy with Papa. My trip to Louisiana with Papa and Grandma will always hold a special place in my heart. We fished, explored Grand Isle and New Orleans, and ate lots of gator, but most of all we spent a lot of great quality time together and laughed a lot!
