Can you guess where and what I have going on?
This year family vacation was in New Orleans! Bring on the jazz and Cajun foods!
Wednesday, July 25th we flew into New Orleans and found our way downtown. It just so happened to be that the President was also in New Orleans for the day. After walking up and down streets we found out that he was going to be eating dinner at the House of Blues. This took up a huge part of the day as we got a 3 second glance at the President, but what an experience. We always seem to be in the right place at the right time and we found our way to the front of the crowd.
Thursday, July 26: We headed on a Katrina City Tour where our guy Sylvester was the entertainment on the tour. He took us to city parks, cemeteries, farmers markets and back again. Of course we stopped by Cafe Du Monde where we visited daily for our dose of beignets and coffee. By the last day, I was done with beignets. It's probably a good thing also!
Friday, July 27: Today we got up early to catch a bus to Laura Plantation where we learned about a wealthy family that landed tons of acres to produce sugar cane. Once again Sylvester was our guy!
Saturday, July 28th: Our final full day in New Orleans and we had a Steamboat Cruise with Louisanan cuisine.
We walked all over the town, found the locals favorite restaurants, rode trolly cars, and listened to some good jazz.
Once again an amazing time with an amazing family!
