Last week, my wife and I were in New Orleans on a week-long trip. I'll save the debauchery of Bourbon Street for fireside tales, but we were able to do quite a lot of stuff.
It helps there was an airshow nearby, and a B-17 was flying overhead most of the trip.
The biggest highlight for me was the National World War II Museum. If you haven't gone, do it. It's a constantly growing museum, and they take great pride in what they do. You can easily spend a full day there checking everything out, watching the films, going to shows and looking at the exhibits. What's also neat is they give you an electronic set of dog tags linked to a WWII veteran. You stop at stations along the way and watch videos of where he/she was at that particular time in the war. It's fantastic.
I've posted some photos below. Hope you enjoy and get to go sometime!
