Last weekend Mike & I took a short vacation to New Orleans!  There are so many things to see here that we only scratched the surface, so there definitely will need to be a return at some point. Here are some shots from our trip :)

The food was AMAZING, here is one day’s worth: Beignets for breakfast at Café Du Monde!

Roast Beef Po-Boy for Lunch at Johnny’s, yum!

Cajun deliciousness for dinner at Coop’s Place

We took a carriage ride around the French Quarter :)

This is THE house of the Rising Sun, the one the Animals sing about

We randomly went to a butterfly garden when it started to pour

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band blew me away

Walked out of our B&B on Sunday morning only to find that the New Orleans marathon was underway and the leaders were running by.. look at those quads! eee (The guy on the left ended up winning)

Now some photos from the Louisiana swamps among the Cyprus trees

Mike spotted this gator, time to turn the boat around

gorgeous

Until next time New Orleans!
