We're a British/ American family on a mission to explore 50 states in 50 weeks seeking
opportunities that open our hearts and minds. We have now checked off five states from our list
now we're heading to the sixth state that we'll call home for the next 48 hours
Louisiana! The mountain driving is now not at the peak of my anxiety this is
absolutely insane. City driving is the worst now? Yeah! When you think camping you think
out in the woods and out in like a beautiful wall yeah this is on the wall of the city
of New Orleans and uh yeah this is different for sure this area is under 24-hour live and recorded
video surveillance that is good to know they have the little um things on top you see but uh
all right thank you so much all right well what's that did you say we work 30 29
hi experts greetings from The French Quarter RV Resort in New Orleans Louisiana
this is by far our most expensive stay to put everything into perspective the amount
that we spent to stay here for two nights is the same amount that we spent for a whole week
in Mississippi and a lot of other places in states that we stayed at along the way
however it's all about location this is walking distance right into the actual french quarter
in New Orleans it's right outside they call it the French Quarter rv resort
however it's right outside yes but it's walking distance and it's full of amenities that we
definitely appreciate yes for example i don't know if any of the full-time has
experienced this but laundry okay when you're at a camp yes you gotta get those quarters for that
laundry and i hate it and they had credit card only laundry which i think is amazing
i should do that everyone should please get on board that's phenomenal that's i love that and
they just had like you know free ice which is so cool and just a amazing fitness center yeah it
just we just really soaked in those amenities the first night it's taco night New Orleans
i mean that's the mini interesting this is so pretty you guys
yeah we'll have to get our bathing suits though
all right show me how you're getting this cold after being in the hotel
the next day we only had 24 hours to really enjoy the city so we initially had planned
on walking and what we had been told from a lot of different campers is it's actually
pretty safe you walk past a police department when you get right into the french quarter
and so we thought it would be kind of a fun thing to do as a family however time was fleeting so we
decided that it was a really quick drive so we might as well just park yes and actually like
that can seem very overwhelming especially in new orleans where the roads are very tight and narrow
and we're driving a big old truck that we have to park as well however there is a really cool app
that the city has allows you to park to pay for your parking online and pick your spot and punch
in license plate number so you literally just roll up and park and then you head into the sea
look out the window over here in this direction over here so sit up a little bit
do you know what's under all those little buildings across the street it's a cemetery
it actually looks pretty weird wow that's good
that's what it's always we going to let the rain ruin our day
no we're grateful for it get away drizzle go away you can go over there if you want
see those sweet sweet moonwalk skills
it's real babe
oh it's fake
well i'm impressed that's a pretty good looking fake tree probably the biggest one i've ever seen
in line to get in
all right let's find a table
so sweet jude why are you just eating that the powdered sugar
you're a beignet
oh
my feet
it says the union must and shall prevail
it's slippery though
is it that loud biggest like far street probably in america
it's the best way to see the city it says a gift from the people of france to the seasons
of new no one is beautiful joe navarre the cajun night before christmas and santa's got alligators
there we go but he's definitely not jon snow unfortunately
i think you probably thought i was harrington for a second
we're admiring your beautiful work tired judy he's getting sloppy all right ready freddy
let's find a good place for lunch what do you think jack skeleton
oh my gosh you're hooked on beignets grapes what'd you get i got the knuckle have you ever
had a muffilata do you even know what it is it's got a veggie sandwich with marble rice very known
oh my gosh it's playing itself
how did you get such a good accent are you from louisiana
two days was just perfect for our family our boys were definitely not used to the hustle
and bustle and over stimulation of a city and they were really tired by the end so
it was great for us there's a lot that we did not do however i think that if we would have
stayed a little bit longer it just would have been too much maybe we'll come back and do some
cool things like the aquarium and lots of maybe even go to a football game that'd be pretty neat
mardi gras when they're 18. no definitely not ever doing that with the kids
but it was a really cool experience and if you have little kids like us i think two days is
perfect yeah and actually next week we're on a really cool adventure that
you might dig we're definitely gonna dig it definitely yeah we'll see you then cheers
so that big white building right there that's where the new all insane players how cool is that
you
