My husband and I love to travel, and even more so now that we have our little girl. So soon as we had a 3-day weekend, we packed up our bags and hit the road to one of our favorite spots in Louisiana --- New Orleans!
Because we had a 10-month old baby in tow, we knew our itinerary would be different this time around, but fun nonetheless.
The line was a bit long, but oh so worth it! Even our little munchkin enjoyed the menu.
Afterwards we decided to walk off our lunch at Jackson Square. It was our mother-in-law's first time in New Orleans, or Louisiana for that matter, so we wanted to make sure she experienced as much of it as possible.
Later that evening, we wandered through the Garden District to admire the architecture of the homes there.
As for dinner, we stopped at this amazing hot dog place off Magazine Street - Dat Dog. Imagine crawfish-stuffed sausages and etouffee-topped hot dogs? Yep, they have them and they're mouth-watering!
On our second day, we checked out the cemeteries, which are above-ground tombs referred to as the "cities of the dead". At first I didn't understand what the big deal was, but once you step into these cemeteries, you are blown away by the magnitude of these tombs.
We also checked out the New Orleans City Park, and the levees, and capped off our night with a stop at Cafe Du Monde for their famous beignets.
So no, this time around we didn't party until wee hours of the morning, but we still enjoyed our trip very much because that's the beauty of jazzy New Orleans. It's one of those places where folks from all walks of life can find something fun to do.
If you've been wanting to take a trip to New Orleans but hesitate because you have little ones, we hope this will inspire you. Add a comment »
