Road trip into Louisiana and New Orleans. This was one of my better stops on the trip. While I had visited New Orleans before in 2008, I hadn't given it the time it deserved although part of that may have had something to do with hurricane Katrina having occurred more recently. While I only spent a full day in the city, I managed to take in a lot of the best sites, stopping in...
Bayou Sauvage - kayaking in the swamp/bayou (no alligators unfortunately but lots of birds(waterfowl) and lizards (anoles))
French Quarter - Jackson Square, St Louis Cathedral, Mardi Gras, eating beignets at Cafe Du Monde, French / Creole / Cajun colonial history, the Joan of Arc statue, Bourbon Street Jazz and Blues, the Mississippi River and the cities levee.
Garden District - Mansions

Parks - Louis Armstrong and City Park with Story Land, Art Museum, lakes, hiking trails, sports fields, swamp land and trees.
