New Orleans and City Park


This Saturday we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather (it's been in the 70s) and spend the day in New Orleans, about an hour and a half drive from us.

We walked around the French Quarter and listened to the street performers.


Stephen liked these guys, even though the bass player looks ridiculous :o)


Had lunch at Crescent City Brewhouse then drove over to City Park.


The park has "Storyland" for little kids and Alice's favorite part was splashing her hands in the fountain and picking up leaves.  Guess she is not quite old enough yet to enjoy playgrounds.


On the pirate ship with daddy.



Then we walked around the park a little, it's really big so we didn't get far.

I loved all the beautiful oak trees covered in spanish moss.  Pictures really don't do them justice.


Was surprised to see swans in the bayou.






 Overall a fun day enjoying our new life in the deep south :o)
