For a minute there, it looked like a fleet was invading New Orleans.
Don't worry. This isn't 1812 or anything 😄
Our team spent part of the day checking out SAIL250 (sail250neworleans.com) as tall ships from around the world arrived along the Mississippi River for a celebration of America's 250th anniversary.
Safe to say, it was a pretty incredible sight. Come check it out for yourself through June 1st on the river.
