New Orleans continued...
It wasn't all partying and parading...we also visited Oak Alley plantation, where I got to indulge my historical nerd side and pretended to be Scarlett O'Hara. Plus we went on a swamp boat tour (think one of those air boats you see in Florida) which went on the hunt for aligators - I saw 4, but we went too fast for photos (probably a good thing, they can jump higher than the boat...)
