After returning from our impromptu international weekend, my parents and I took off for four days in good ol' New Orleans. As many of you know, my family travels a lot and figuratively collects states. Going to Louisiana was a first for us, which made it extra exciting. I don't have a ton to write on the subject, so I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
