Naperville, IL | visiting Baton Rouge Hello all-
The wife and I are going to be staying (somewhere not yet picked) in Baton Rouge the last two weeks of next month.
Any suggestions on where to go/what to do while we're there?
Thanks! |

You could go see some of the plantations around. I have been to a couple. I like Oak Alley. »www.oakalleyplantation.com/
New Orleans is only about an hour away depending on traffic.

That is also the beginning of Mardi Gras Festivities. I haven't really looked at any of the schedules this year and I am not sure what date Mardi Gras falls on this year. It was pretty early last year and there was a ball and parade I went towards the end of January last year.

The first parade in Baton Rouge doesn't look like it is until the first week in Feb. »www.bestofbatonrouge.com/events/mardi_gras/
There are a few parades in or near New Orleans during that time period.

//edit actually it looks like the parades during that period are in Slidell which is a little further than New Orleans.

Did you end up doing anything fun that you would suggest checking out. I ended going fishing for the last few weekends and catching lots of snapper and drum. My freezer is starting to get nicely stocked again. I had a friend that went to the coast and caught some wahoo and tuna and he gave me some of that also. I only really like the wahoo when it is fresh. I have been here for almost 5 years now. I need some suggestions on what else there is to do. If you discovered anything please share.
