New Orleans Break

We spent the last two nights in New Orleans. Dad came with us to help watch the children so Mikel and I could have a couple of date nights. But during the days, we went to the zoo and acquarium, enjoyed beignets at Cafe du Monde, strolled along the Mississippi River, through Jackson Square and on the edge of the French Quarter, and, finally, rode around to see the devastation caused Hurricane Katrina two years ago.
