What To See In New Orleans

Our recent marathon road trip to the Gulf Coast brought us to New Orleans for four days of terrific food, adult beverages, jazz music and history.

We spent the better part of an entire day to visit The National WWII Museum.

I've been to a large number of museums in my life - some devoted exclusively to military history and events.  As far as military museums go this was a stellar attraction.

It relates the story of the American experience in a war that changed the world - why it was fought, how it was won and how it defined the world following its conclusion.

Differentiated from most museums this venue makes extensive use of personal accounts,  multimedia technology to provide a visitor with an immersive experience of the war and every theater it was fought.

If you're gonna visit NOLA for any reason this is a must-see.
