Day 2 - The Alamo

It’s amazing how much you can learn about history when you get to stand and see first hand where it happened. I can’t believe how much information I retained from trips when I was little, and I wasn’t even that interested in the historic places I was taken. A day trip anywhere is worth a […]

Day 4 - Blue Bayou Waterpark

If there is one fact that people know about the south is that it gets mighty steemy in the summer, so what do you do when the tempature soars? Spend the day in the Lafourche Lagoon with the gators and lily pads, or try the Lafitte’s Plunge where you can try you hand at the […]
