New Orleans

We spent the night in New Orleans. We grabbed a late dinner at a place called Mother's, and stuffed ourselves on po' boys, red beans & rice, and jambalaya! It was excellent! Next morning, we got out early & checked out the French Quarter. It was beautiful! It was so neat to see all the old European buildings, and I wish we had had more time to meander & explore all those little streets. Jackson Square was gorgeous, and St. Louis Cathedral was magnificent. We grabbed beignets & cafe au lait at Cafe Du Monde, and it was such a fun treat!! We hopped back into the car, and drove through the Garden District before getting back onto the road. Those homes were jaw dropping. I can't even imagine what it would be like to live there!
I had never been to New Orleans before this quick stop, and I am so glad that we were able to spend a few hours checking NO out. I hope to go back, so I can really take my time!!
