The Big Easy

I love New Orleans! Spent a super fun day exploring the city. It is a great city to explore on foot; and the people are laid back and welcoming.

We visited two parks (City Park and Audubon); rode the street car to the French Quarter, where we wandered around Jackson Square looking at the local artists and fortune tellers; strolled along the Mississippi; walked down Royal Street, where we enjoyed the street musicians; made our way down Bourbon Street (which was not so family friendly :)); took another street car to the Garden District, where we gawked at the enormous homes; wandered around Carrolton, where we saw Tulane and a craft fair; and finally took a bus back to the car.

And, since a trip to NOLA would not be complete without beignets, we had a yummy snack before heading back across the river to our campground…
