If you're making it a long weekend, here are some sights to see!
Houmas House Plantation and Gardens
LA
This is our favorite plantation to visit in LA. There is a Mansion and Gardens tour, as well as the new Great River Road Museum. You could spend the whole weekend here!
San Francisco Plantation
2646 Louisiana 44, Garyville, LA 70051, (985) 535-2341
Another plantation near Houmas House on the same side of the river, about 30-35 minutes down the road.
Oak Alley Plantation
3645 Louisiana 18, Vacherie, LA 70090, (225) 265-2151
This is a short, 30 minute drive from Houmas House on the other side of the river. Another beautiful historic property.
French Quarter
New Orleans, LA
Did you even go to LA if you don't go to the French Quarter?!
The National WWII Museum
945 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70130, (504) 528-1944
Truly an amazing museum!
Audubon Zoo
6500 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70118, (504) 861-2537
I have yet to visit, but I love spending time in the park across the street!
Audubon Aquarium of the Americas
1 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA 70130, (504) 565-3033
Have not been here yet, but have heard great things!
