Wayne has…read morebeen involved in local law enforcement for many years, and has taken a personal interest in local history, so he has set out countless times into the swamps to retrieve artifacts from Louisiana's Past, including an impressive collection of artifacts from the local towns that were wiped out in the 1915 hurricane. He also has a lot of knowledge and experience with alligators and other local wildlife, and has a great number of stories and experiences to share. In the museum there is also a memorial dedicated to local law enforcement officers who gave their lives in order to uphold the law, with a fascinating record of each individual who passed away while on duty and the circumstances surrounding his/her death.

Just kidding. Sort of. What to do? There's the aquarium in New Orleans which is wonderfully dark and cool. But if you're in the mood for something different the Louisiana Children's Discovery Center in Hammond is perfect. It's small but just the right size for kids to run around and have a blast while mom and dad get to relax and not hear "I'm boredddddd" for a few hours. Highlights include a bubble station (this is my personal favorite) where you can blow bubbles of all sizes and stand on a little circle and actually put yourself in a bubble...sounds weird but is way cool. A rock climbing wall, a stage complete with dress up items and a curtain (watch out for my little girl who thinks she is the director of every play) an ambulance with a patient and sirens!, a cow that you can milk (water comes out) and a construction zone. They also do birthday parties here and although we haven't had one here I can imagine they are quite fun. Admittance is reasonable and it's a great way to spend an afternoon.
