Traveling Dad says, “Laissez les bons temps rouler”. This is French for “let the good times roll” and a phrase you will no doubt hear on a trip to New Orleans.
If you don’t mind a few isolated thunderstorms, late spring is a perfect time to visit the Big Easy. There are boatloads, or River Boatloads that is, of zydeco music, Cajun cuisine, Voo Doo, historical landmarks and nightlife. This particular trip was “grown up” and kid-free, but it was so much fun that this summer a family trip is planned back to the region to tour outside of the French Quarter and into swamp lands as well as the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast…so stay tuned.
