All around New Orleans

Dad standing by statues of Pete Fountain and Al Hirt. This is in front of Cafe Beignet. Yum! Yum!

Carriage rides in front of Jackson Square.

Mom and Dad on the carriage ride. Dad wasn't too thrilled with going on this. He said growing up he'd already spent enough time on this end of a mule!

Eating lunch at Bubba Gumps.

Exploring the French Market.

There is a guy standing on top of the Nachez playing ? I don't think it's an organ. Maybe a calliope?

New Orleans requires a lot of walking. But it was worth it. Very enjoyable.

Post Mardi Gras

I'm going to change this blog to a travel blog! Seems like I've been gone alot the last few weeks. My parents and I took a quick trip down to New Orleans for a few days. None of us had been there before. We waited until Mardi Gras was over but there were still plenty of signs that it had just happened. We all got a kick out of the beads hanging from the trees.

It looked like they all tried to out do each other decorating their balconies. I liked these two!
