Vacation Day 2 in New Orleans!!

Tuesday, September 13, 2011
With the tropical storm in the area, our cruise got delayed over 7 hours so we had some extra time to play in New Orleans. We had one room that we kept so anyone in our group could come and rest if they wanted.. and we stored all the luggage in the room too.

It wasn't long till we were all out in the city..


In search of some food!

New Orleans!!

Time to order up!


Laci and I.. I knew I had 7 hours so I didn't really clean up much in the am..

My Breakfast


Scotts breakfast/brunch..

While walking around we saw these guys rocking out!!

They sounded good huh!?


Moving right along to find some yummy french pastries.


Don was tagging a long with us, while mom was off winning some money!

Art work for sale..


Down the way we go..


Love the horse and buggies. For 3 people it was $ 75.00.. Yikes!!

Love that old historic church!


Time for some yummy treats!!


The little cafe was busy busy!


YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very much like a funnel cake!


Heading back to get the bags to take to the port to check them all in before we boarded the boat..


Loved this art store!

We ended up getting a cab back to the hotel..


and we arrived..


Scott got his vodka all hidden in water bottles to take on the cruise!


And away we went..

We had to go check on mom at..


and this is what we found!!


Was that video funny or what!!!!!!!!!??????? I love it!! She was soooo happy!!


Out we went and

took off to the boat..

The port was only about 5 minutes away from our hotel..

so away we went!!

Love this picture!


The terminal was really busy.. But we were in and out. They held our first load of luggage while we went out to get another car load..


and when we pulled up, Mom was waiting on us.

We took the other bunch of luggage down and then headed down to take the cars to be stored.


And when we got there Don ended up putting on his sport jacket


and I just thought he looked so cute with his loafers, shorts, shirt, sports jacket and lets not forget the white hat!! Too Funny!

I forgot to include this video from New Orleans Night 1 in the other post so I am putting it in here!


It was actually kinda fun. I am not a huge fan of New Orleans but we actually had a good time!

Carnival put everyone up on the 3rd floor of the Marriott Hotel. So we had to wait in this really long line to get checked into the cruise.


It was crazy..


But it moved pretty fast and before I knew it, we were in the seating area waiting to be called!

It wasn't too long before we got on the boat!

Stay tuned more to come!
