Weekend Getaways in Louisiana

Being a frequent visitor to Louisiana (to visit In laws) I decided I had better find some places to visit and something to do other than the typical visit the in law stuff. So, I bought this book. It is a wonderful book. I particularly like how it is divided into sections so that it is easy to find the area you are traveling in. My only two negative comments regarding this book would be 1- the author gives information regarding stores and restaurants. I would rather not have this listed in a book because these kind of things tend to change. Also, finding places to shop and eat is the easy part, it's finding the places to go and knowing what to do when you get there that is difficult (I think). and 2- The places listed are, for the most part, typical tourist attractions. If you are looking for a book FILLED with off the beaten path types of things, this is not the book. However, if you are looking for a book that has a lot of great places to visit mixed in with a little bit history this is a good book to get. The organization is easy to understand and it is easy to find places to visit and things to see when using this book.
