Where we stayed: Bayou Segnette State Park Since it was so easy to get into New Orleans from our campground, we were able to make multiple trips into the city. While Kaylie and Emmett and I enjoyed the campground parade, Jack and Matt tackled New Orleans together, visiting the World War II museum and making a first trip to Cafe DuMonde. Being a WW2 history buff, Jack LOVED the museum! He could have spent a couple days there reliving all the details of each battle. On our next visit into the city, we waited in a not too long line at Mother's Restaurant for some Po'Boys (Famous Ferdi Special featuring the orginal debris).

Where we stayed: Bayou Segnette State Park The best thing about our trip to New Orleans was all the great families we met at our campground - Bayou Segnette State Park. If you are looking for a homebase near New Orleans and have a tent, trailer or motorhome, you might want to consider this place. It's got great level sites, free laundry (though you might have to fight others for it), park activities and it's ideally located about 20 minutes by car outside of New Orleans. And like I said, the best part were the other full-time families we met. Now that we have some other traveling friends, we're able to message each other when we need ideas for what to see or where to stay. Our Family Edventure - Family of 4 from SF Bay Area traveling in a sprinter van. Life with Dyna - Younger couple traveling with a 4 year old nephew, a friend and a cat. It's a Dodds Life - Family of 4 from Australia that hit 49 states in their year-long adventure of the USA. We happened to be staying in the park a few days before the actual day of Mardi Gras (booked reservations a few weeks in advance online), so the park had some fun, low key activites for the kids in the campground.

Tobasco Factory Tour, Avery Island On our drive through Lousiana from Lafayette to our next campground in New Orleans, we made a pit stop for the afternoon in a little area called Avery Island. The main attraction on Avery Island is the Tobasco Factory. We spent a couple hours on the self-guided tour through the factory. |
