New Orleans

New Orleans, also known as the Big Easy, is a fun place to visit. There is so much to do in this awesome city. Museums and Historic tours are plentiful. One recommendation is the WWII museum where you will find relics of an important era in US wartime. The 4D movie is a must see. Art Museums and the Aquarium is great for families.

You can take a river cruise or hop on a big ship heading to the Gulf of Mexico. There are so many bars and restaurants where you can take in the unique cuisine of Cajun and Creole that makes New Orleans great for foodies. You will also find some very talented musicians whether you listen to blues, jazz or classic rock.

The history buildings and gardens are exciting for anyone enjoying the outdoors. Take a carriage ride or bike taxi if you want to really see the sights while traveling around town. The number of tours is extensive whether you want to ghost hunt or take a garden tour. Something for everyone.
