These photos are just a glimpse into our amazing spring break adventure in New Orleans. We visited the Audubon Zoo where we saw the hugest alligator ever! We rode the streetcar...ate beignets...walked down Bourbon Street...ate beignets...toured Jackson Square (St. Louis Cathedral)...ate beignets. We also ventured outside the city to Manchac Swamp where we saw tons of alligators including one that was about 10 feet long. We even held an alligator, or at least sat close to its' head. We enjoyed a cemetery and voodoo tour where we saw the grave of Marie Laveau. Lily and Mom also took a nighttime walking tour of the city where they learned all about the ghosts and spirits that haunt New Orleans. Max ate tons of food trying gulf shrimp, catfish, jambalaya, pralines, red beans and rice, a Po-Boy, King Cake, Bananas Foster, and Mom tried some crawfish - YUCK! We even tried a few drinks, non-alcoholic of course, that you may have heard of - a Pina Colada and a Hurricane. Lily also got her Smoothie King that she had been talking about all week on the way out of town. Everything about New Orleans was like nothing we had ever experienced before and we engrossed ourselves in the culture enjoying every minute of it!
