NEW ORLEANS - WWII MUSEUM


Today we spent almost 5 hours in the World War II Museum.  It's located in the Warehouse District of New Orleans and is in two buildings.  You start out with an hour long movie, produced by Tom Hanks, called "Beyond All Boundries"  The movie and the way it's presented is fantastic.  It gives a very easy to understand overview of the war and how/why the U.S. got involved, even though we tried to stay neutral.

After the movie you go into the museum, which takes you through the war in Europe and then through the war in the Pacific.  It's all done very well and it is tremendously interesting. 

It's impossible to take any pictures that would do the museum justice but if you're ever in New Orleans, trust me, it's worth your time to visit this museum.
