Bienvenue en Louisiane – America’s WETLAND and the BIG EASY

Bienvenue en Louisiane – America’s WETLAND and the BIG EASY –

Visiting New Orleans with family.

We made a pit stop in New Orleans because we missed the exit on our last road trip.  I love the fleur-di-lis!!!
Means the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit)!

I just love seeing the French Quarters.

I just love those RED shutters!

I didn’t love the one way streets!  So aggravating!  But, it let us see some interesting character throughout the city!

Since we missed the exit my eldest begged for us to stop at the Cafe Du Monde for some French Beignets (Ben-yays).

I love that my kids know about this treat!  The coffee was super yum as well!

After coming out of the French Market…we got a “little” lost.

We couldn’t figure out how to get on I-10…no big deal – truth be known that is when we find the neatest treasures of a city.

Just look at this neat church!

Isn’t it beautiful!  I’m sure it is a landmark…and I didn’t even get it’s name.

I’d love to see the stain glass from the inside…

We passed the Super Dome!

It was a humbling site for me to see.  All I could think about was Hurricane Katrina and the people affected.  It just so happened the anniversary of the hurricane was the Monday after we visited.

Then of course the Mississippi River!

Don’t you just love that paddle boat?

I think…Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn!

What a sweet fast memory – all because of a missed exit!

Blessings to you!  You are loved!
