New Orleans

Even though I first acted as if I would die if I ate them I scarfed down 3! … I think it is fun to annoy Breighton so much he can’t sleep.

Ready, Set, VACATION! I absolutly LOVE New Orleans. I get lots of junk food! I loved the snowballs from Hansen’s.

The Mississippi River was kind of nasty looking.

I loved wandering around downtown. We took a horse drawn carriage ride around the French Quarter.

We ended our downtown trip with a visit to Cafe’ Du Monde for beignets. Do you think I was willing to try new foods? YUP! I will try anything covered in sugar!

Next we hit the streetcars. There was a back up so we ended up with a car all to ourselves. We rode all the way down to City Park.

Mommy walked with us to StoryLand while Daddy rode the streetcar back to fetch the car.

Day three we visited a plantation and went to play in the bayou.

It was raining in the bayou and the alligators were all over the place. They were even on the pathways! It was scary but Mommy held my hand so tight I thought my hand would fall off!

I didn’t want to walk under the umbrella.

Back at the KOA campground and having fun in the drizzle on the little playground. The pool was too hot to swim in. We took a quick dip and then a cool shower.

Ready for bed after a long few days… where are we off to next… no one knows!

Night night.
