Have you ever experienced a river city tour?
I have never even gone on a boat trip up the Hudson River-though it is definitely on my bucket list! If I lived anywhere near there I definitely would like to go on that boat ride down the Mighty Mississippi!
Love your pics! I ‘ve never been to NOLA but have heard so many great things about it.
I’ve been on many boat rides near St Louis since I grew up there. I haven’t gone in many years though. Now I want to!
Nice pictures!
This looks like it would be so much fun. I will add it to the list of things I want to do the next time I visit the Big Easy.
My husband has been there but I never have. He would absolutely love to go back!
I love when local businesses have family fun days – honestly, it gives me a reason to go to places that I might not ordinarily go on a Saturday/Sunday. This looks like a fun event (and very reasonably priced too!).
This would be an awesome family day to bad I will be bringing my son to MN for a new job. Thanks for sharing.
