Vacation Highlight: New Orleans Sights

I know you thought you saw it all yesterday – picture overload? – but Nola isn’t all about food.  Every time I visit, which is a lot, I find new things to do and new sights to see.

Are you wondering when I possibly had time to do anything other than eat?  Me too.  But somehow I did.

So what was I doing when I wasn’t eating?

Jazz Festing

I’m not sure if this band was called Papa Grows Funk or Papa Knows Funk, either way they were funky.  And fun

For the record, Michael Franti > Kid Rock, no matter how many people told me Kid Rock puts on a great show!

And for the record it may have been snowing back in Colorado but New Orleans in May is already hot.

I see you, Uncle.

Lizard spotting.

A prize to the person who can locate the lizard among the leaves.

French Quarter exploring.

It’s windy by the river and our hair wouldn’t cooperate.

But it resulted in my favorite picture from the trip.  Kudos on capturing the moment, Joey.

Street car riding.

Fact: If you call the street car a trolley, you will sound like an idiot.

Magazine Street gallivanting.

Garden District touring.

That area is apparently full of all kinds of haunted homes.  Creeeeepy.

What’s up, Sandra Bullock?

Boxer snot dodging.

Zephyr game watching.

Spillway visiting. 

There’s so much water there.  It scares me

Bourbon Street experiencing.

Drink a Hand Grenade from Tropical Isle: check!

And after you’ve seen everything there is to see, you sit and relax on the porch. 

Is having a big porch with a fan and a blue painted ceiling a necessity in the south?

What’s the funniest vacation activity you’ve participated in?

Or

Do you have a big porch with rocking chairs that I can come sit in?
