What’s your favorite summertime activity?

Do you like to go to the beach, hang out at the pool, do some bbq?

In a hot, humid city like New Orleans, going to get a snoball is a cool, sweet activity that people stand in line to do. While waiting families and friends chat, talk politics, catch up on what they're doing or plan to do.

As for a place to go, heading downstream to Grand Isle, La., where there's tan sand beaches and cross-island breezes is a lovely vacation. There is also a great state park down there where there are hookups for glampers and camping on the beach if that's your preference. They allow campfires.

In town, you can get a Grand Isle snoball and wonderful crab cakes at the local eateries.

The sound of waves permeates the island and every morning a rake-dragging truck combs the beaches on both sides of the Island. A small, mellow community that swells with tourists in summer.

But, the best time to go is after Labor Day when there are no crowds or before Memorial Day. Then it's peaceful and all the kids are still in school. Lots of New Orleanians and Lafayette natives go there for a recharge.
