We spent one day in New Orleans. It was such a unique cool city. Unlike anywhere I had been before. While we were there a free Jazz festival going on so there was music everywhere. Deacon was dancing to these street performers while we waited for our biegnets.
Right after he put a dollar in he took two out.
Us in front of Jackson square, or Sleeping Beauties castle, you choose.
This is where all the old people were listening to their old people music so naturally Grandma and Grandpa went and danced for thirty seconds (As long as Curt and I could stand the horrible cajun music)
Eating the glorious beignets. We were finding powdered sugar all ove for the rest of the night! So delicious!
The restuarant where those three fools tried alligator. Who wants to try alligator "just to try it? " not me! I do not care if it tastes like chicken! This restuarant was great because it was all open and you could here all the music and excitment all around. Loved New Orleans! Hard to imagine that at one point so much of it was flooded due to hurricane Katrina, really amazing and incredible to see it so alive.

Yay! looks like you had such a fun time. I love your stories. You always come back with the best stories...karaoke on a cruise, curtis lost a tooth, crazy little girl scared of a dog but not a snake. fantastic. See you Monday!
I have always wanted to go to New Orleans--thought, after Katrina, that now I'd never really get to see it, because it would be different. But it sounds like it's pretty awesome regardless--and the beignets! oh my gosh.
Beingnets make me hungry.
tooooooo fun!
alligator is good! especially when prepared cajun style!!
you missed out!
but New Orleans is pretty amazing!
the beignets are so good and the jazz music sounds good too!
How fun! Deacon is getting so big and so adorable. Fun to see pictures of your Dad. It's been a long time since I've seen him. He still looks tons like Abbey, or she looks like him, whichever.
