The girls ate pizza, while Don and I opted for more traditional New Orleans food.

Watching them make fudge.  They had a little song and dance routine that was very entertaining.

Sarabeth has wanted a VW bus forever and she found THE ONE in New Orleans.  I would even drive this one.

Outside the Riverwalk.  We are on the Mississippi River.  Can you see the cruise ship in the background?

The scary street clown.  AKA homeless bum trying to get drug money. There were a lot of these on Bourbon Street.

I’d like to go back and check it out more.  We were only there for a few hours that day.  It wasn’t a planned destination.  We were driving through and decided we had to stop and check it out.  I’d love to visit the Garden District and see some of the old cemeteries.  We’ll have to plan another trip.
