We road tripped to New Orleans for Spring Break this year. It's close enough to drive (we did split it into 2 days) and we had never been before.
On the way we stopped in Beaumont for the night. We went to the semi-famous Gator Country. They have been on a lot of TV shows. Lots of gators! They put on a pretty good show!!!
In New Orleans we rented a house instead of staying in a hotel. A 3 bedroom house was much better than a 1 room hotel room!! The house was so cute and totally flipped. The neighborhood was a little sketchy, but the house was really nice.
Our first stop was the WWII Museum. There is SO much to see there!
Sophia, Joshua and I left the museum and took the trolley to the French Quarter.
The next day we met up with friends who were in NOLA too! We took a paddleboat tour down the Mississippi River to a historic battlefield.
We went to Café Du Monde a few times. The kids quickly fell in love with beignets!!! Delish!
One evening we took a Haunted walking tour around the French Quarter. It was really interesting. Our tour guide was really entertaining and had great stories. A few were spooky but all them had a lot of historical information about the city.
We were super excited about our swamp tour!!! The morning we went was super cold. Most of the trip was cold!!! It was so cold that a lot of the animals were not out. We only saw one alligator, some raccoons and some wild hogs. But the swamp was beautiful!! The pictures don't do it any justice!!!
The last day in NOLA we went to the Zoo. They have a pretty big Zoo with lots to see. We loved watching the orangutans and gorillas.
They had some BIG alligators!!!
Overall we had a great trip. There is SO much to do in NOLA. The kids had a blast and we did too. We would all go back again!!
