As summer comes to an end, we’re all looking for a quick get away. And if you’re looking for a quick trip inside your budget, check out some of these awesome day trips right outside of Baton Rouge.
- Avery Island: Walk through Jungle Gardens in Avery Island and admire the flowers and wildlife and see the buddhist temple and statue. While you’re stopping in Avery Island take the Tabasco Pepper Sauce Tour
