Sydney & Austin
Things To Do
The Wearin' of the Green St. Patricks Day Parade
Sydney and Austin love this parade. They rode on a float two years in a row and had a blast. It rolls at 10 a.m. the day of the wedding. It will end around noon, giving guests plenty of time to get ready. It's OK if you come a wee bit cheery :)
USS Kidd Veterans Museum
Easy quick activity that will bring you to the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge.
Mike the Tiger at LSU
LSU's mascot Mike the Tiger lives on campus for fans to stop by and say hi. Geaux Tigers!
Fred's on the River
A restaurant on the Amite River not far from the wedding ceremony. It has a nice view and usually live local music.
New Orleans St. Patrick's Day Events
This website will be updated closer to the date, but there will very likely be a St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday, March 17.
Bayou Swamp Tours
Watch out for alligators!
National WWII Museum
A world class attraction with numerous expansions including European and Asian annexes. It's a Tom Hanks favorite.
Kern Studios Mardi Gras World
A tourist attraction that shows how a Mardi Gras float is made. The studios are not related to our Kern family, unfortunately.
Pat O'Brien's Courtyard Restaurant
If you have to see Bourbon Street, take a quick walk to Pat O'Briens for a famous Hurricane on their outdoor patio or inside at the piano bar. Also has a very nice and rare bathroom.
Vue Orleans
If you're looking for a great view of the city and the Mississippi River, on top of the Four Seasons Hotel is a large observatory. The hotel also has the Miss River restaurant that serves great duck and andouille gumbo.
The Carousel Bar & Lounge
This lounge has a merry-go-round piano bar that rotates as you sip your cocktail.
