NEW ORLEANS: Audubon Aquarium of the Americas | YOU WON'T BELIEVE Everything That We Saw
????WATCH NEXT: This is part 3 of a 3 part travel series of our family trip to New Orleans. Start watching from the beginning by watching this video:
Hey Travelers,
Today we are in New Orleans and going to the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. To get there we took the Algiers Ferry because that looked like one of the fun things to do in New Orleans with kids.
We haven't taken the kids to the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans, so we are hoping to do the entire Audubon Experience this year. We have been to many aquariums and this is our favorite!
As you walk through the aquarium there are many areas to explore from North and South America, from the Amazon to the Mississippi River, and from the swamp to the arctic.
The Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, which is located along the Mississippi Riverwalk in New Orleans, is definitely a place to visit in New Orleans. You will see a variety of fish, including sting rays, penguins, sharks, and even a sea turtle and a whole lot of parakeets, which you can feed.
If you are looking for things to do in New Orleans in July or August, it's usually really hot outside, so the aquarium is a great place to get inside and cool off on a hot Louisiana day.
Have you ever been to the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans before? Let me know in the comments below, and if you are in NOLA, this is a great place to visit!
Also, let me know in the comments where you are watching from!
Happy Travels,

Partying on Bourbon Street and Alligator Swamp Tour | New Orleans Vlog | Jamilah and Marcel
It was Marcel's first time on Bourbon Street and Jamilah showed what the night life of New Orleans is all about! We hope you enjoy! Please make sure like our video and subscribe to our channel! Thanks for watching.
We arrived to New Orleans and we rushed over to Jean Lafitte's Alligator Swamp Tour that we purchased off of Groupon. The swamp tour was 90 minutes long and was full of curious alligators which swam up to the boat, and we also were able to hold a 4 year old alligator! The alligator swamp tour definitely started our New Orleans day off on the right foot.
After leaving our swamp tour we went back to Alder Hotel to change into our night time outfits to party on Bourbon Street. Bourbon Street is amazing. From the French Style buildings to the culture of New Orleans, Bourbon Street is a great place to be! We went down to Bourbon Street and stopped in many stores, clubs and received entertainment from the locals and visitors in the area.
If you have never partied on Bourbon Street you are missing out! We hope you enjoyed our New Orleans vlog. Make sure to leave a like on our video and subscribe to our channel. Thanks for watching and see you all next time. God Bless!
RV TRIP TIP: New Orleans, LA
Like most RVers, we spend a lot of time exploring the wide open spaces of the great outdoors. But there are definitely times we like to visit large and medium size cities too. New Orleans is definitely one of those places and a great topic for our 50th YouTube video!
One problem with RVing in or around a city can be the availability of decent, reasonably priced camping. Usually the larger the city, the harder it is to find a campsite, especially for a large motorhome. Even some smaller cities have very limited facilities for RVers. All it takes is one good campground to do the trick, and that's exactly what we have in the New Orleans area: Bayou Segnette State Park.
Bayou Segnette SP is a hidden gem, only about 12 miles from the French Quarter and downtown New Orleans. It offers paved roads and sites, 50-amp electric hook-ups, a dump station and modern restroom facilities. Best of all, it's a beautiful camping environment and reasonably priced too.
A little Googling uncovered another great find for those wanting to learn more about New Orleans (and other cities too), while getting some exercise at the same time: Free Tours By Foot. They have a terrific business model where knowledgeable certified tour guides take people on free walking tours. All you pay is whatever gratuity you feel is appropriate. No strings, and great tours. And no, we are not paid to promote them! We just love great finds, and Free Tours By Foot is definitely one of them!
Our first tour was through the Garden District, starting in one of the many historic cemeteries located around the city. The district is also full of historic houses, as well as those of several Hollywood celebrities who make New Orleans their home.
Our second tour of the day was through the famous French Quarter, which is surely one of the most colorful places you'll ever visit. We strolled down Bourbon Street, listened to talented musicians and visited St. Louis cathedral.
We had time after each tour to enjoy some of New Orleans' classic Creole dishes: gumbo, po boys, shrimp éttouffée, fried okra, jambalaya, greens & cornbread.
If you love food, music, history or the unusual (or all of the above), New Orleans is for you. Creole cooking is delicious and the eclectic mix of food, music and partying is fun and energizing. Of course if you plan to come to town during Mardi Gras, better reserve your campsite way, way in advance. ;-)
Next time you're heading South, be sure to make time to visit this wonderful city.
The piano music is my own performance of Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag from 1899.
WONDERING WHAT'S THE BEST GEAR TO USE ON YOUR RV?
Here's all of our favorite equipment that we use ourselves and recommend to friends:
Join us at for more great RVing content!
Full-Time RVers since April, 2003, we share DIY (do it yourself) RV maintenance, repair, travel, upgrade and operational tips & tricks.
Many RVers are eager to learn more about using, maintaining and caring for their rigs. We hope our experience can help others go DIY, saving time & money, plus the satisfaction of a job well done.
We're handy RVers, not professional technicians. We're happy with the techniques and products we use, but be sure to confirm that all methods and materials you use are compatible with your equipment and abilities. Regardless of what we recommend, consult a professional if you're unsure about working on your RV. Any task you perform or product you purchase based on any information we provide is strictly at your own risk.

Sanctuary of Alegria - Home of Happiness
From concept to completion of this fine art pointillist photorealistic Mardi Gras bead mosaic, Galeria Alegria Artist Stephan Wanger involved the New Orleanian community in creating his masterpiece mural of the Riverfront of New Orleans. Wanger hopes to auction off the piece to support the Make it Right Foundation and promote the recycling of Mardi Gras beads.
Created by the Community to benefit a Community.
Everyone in this video has donated its time, equipment and expertise in order to raise funds for the lower ninth ward and now you can help as well. Support this project by forwarding the Youtube link to your friends and family via e-mail and facebook. If you like the song Sanctuary by Gareth Emery, please download it. That's the best way for us to show our sincere gratitude for Gareths' song. Sanctuary of Alegria will be auctioned off on March 10, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans by the Make It Right Foundation.
A 30' x 8' gigantic Postcard from New Orleans made out of recycled Mardi Gras Beads to help rebuilt destroyed neighborhood.
German native Stephan Wanger has completed the World's largest mosaic ever made out of beads. The size of the work is 8 feet tall by 30 feet wide and contains over a million recycled Mardi Gras beads. The artwork is called Sanctuary of Alegria -- Home of Happiness and showcases the skyline of New Orleans.
14 months ago, Stephan began the tedious process of assembling over a million single-cut beads in order to create awareness for thousands of tons of annually discarded Mardi Gras beads that are destined to become landfill. The colorful mosaic Sanctuary of Alegria is now on display at his Galeria Alegria on 1924 Magazine St., in New Orleans until March 9, 2012. Then Sanctuary of Alegria will be auctioned off by the Make It Right Foundation to raise funds for the lower ninth ward, a neighborhood in New Orleans that was completely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
About 97 % of all the beads that Stephan is using in his artworks, are recycled and many of them spray-painted.
Sanctuary of Alegria, is a very busy river scene to mark the 200th anniversary (1812 -- 2012) of Louisiana's attainment of statehood as the 18th state in the Union and stressing the great importance the Mississippi river has had in Louisiana.
I have always wanted to create a skyline and I believe this project will be the perfect attempt for competing for a Guinness World Record and do some good, says Stephan Wanger from his gallery located at 1924 Magazine St., in New Orleans. The community helped as well by signing the artwork, as Stephan has beaded out the signatures of over 300 people's on this gigantic postcard to the world. Two weeks before completion many volunteers helped with filling in the sky and the water.
The technique of cutting beads, using glue instead of hot glue and the process of creating these art works is new and Stephan gladly teaches it to students and in adult classes. It is an art form by the community for the community as many people drop off these Mardi Gras beads so Stephan can continue with his vision to promote New Orleans and the state of Louisiana in order to increase tourism. The city of New Orleans has given me such a beautiful gift with this idea and I simply wanted to return the favor, that is why I donated the mural. What better way is there to have an artwork possible benefit a community? asks Wanger.
The record-breaking mosaic is part of the A Million Greetings from New Orleans exhibit that Stephán has been working on since 2006. The exhibit will eventually tour Europe to further promote New Orleans and hopefully increase tourism to the city. By signing this gigantic postcard Stephan hopes to create awareness to recycle Mardi Gras beads.
Sanctuary of Alegria showcases a view across the mighty Mississippi River towards downtown New Orleans, complete with the Natchez steamboat, the Carnival Triumph, the Italian tall ship Amerigo Vespucci (America received its name from Amerigo) and the German tall ship Gorch Fock because of Stephan's heritage as he was born in Wilhelmshaven, Germany -- a seaport on the North Sea.
For more information visit galeriaalegria.com or if you like to volunteer or drop off beads contact Stephán at (504) 400-4603. The world record attempt is sponsored by FuzziBunz Baby Products, Café Du Monde, PU Furniture, Ryan North Photography.
Collected Mardi Gras Beads can be dropped off at Galeria Alegria at 1924 Magazine Street of at St. Michael Special School or at the ARC of greater New Orleans.

On the Road at the Speed of Mike S01E16 - Louisiana - New Orleans
Road trip into Louisiana and New Orleans. This was one of my better stops on the trip. While I had visited New Orleans before in 2008, I hadn't given it the time it deserved although part of that may have had something to do with hurricane Katrina having occurred more recently. While I only spent a full day in the city, I managed to take in a lot of the best sites, stopping in...
Bayou Sauvage - kayaking in the swamp/bayou (no alligators unfortunately but lots of birds(waterfowl) and lizards (anoles))
French Quarter - Jackson Square, St Louis Cathedral, Mardi Gras, eating beignets at Cafe Du Monde, French / Creole / Cajun colonial history, the Joan of Arc statue, Bourbon Street Jazz and Blues, the Mississippi River and the cities levee.
Garden District - Mansions
Cemeteries - above ground cemeteries Lafayette #1 and Lafayette #2
Parks - Louis Armstrong and City Park with Story Land, Art Museum, lakes, hiking trails, sports fields, swamp land and trees.
Downtown- Casinos, Mall, Audubon Aquarium, WW2 Museum, Mardi Gras Museum, Gallier Hall (former city hall).
