New Orleans

Ben had his Mid-Year conference in New Orleans this year and I couldn't resist tagging along. The weather was a beautiful 7 Deg the first day we were there and we took advantage by taking a tour on a horse and buggy through the historic parts of town.


Our Tour Guide Molly


The French Quarters, all of these shots are taken from a moving buggy, but the architecture and culture are just amazing. I don't want to move here anytime soon, but its a must see!



This old mansion is set in the middle of the French Quarters and the original iron fences used crops to show posterity.
I love the rod iron porches that are all through New Orleans.



This Historic Church was re-built 3 times because of floods. The last time it was re-finished was in the late 1800's. It has a 3 year waiting list for weddings.


This is the oldest standing original building in Quarters. It has survived all of the major flooding.




Historic Napoleon House.





Famous Bourbon Street. Its clean and peaceful during the day, but watch out at night!



My Favorite, the local Jazz. I loved seeing these musicians out on the streets doing their thing.









Ben got invited to a Pharmaceutical party on the field of the Super Dome. It was really cool being on the field, Ben got to throw and kick field goals.




Presley and Layla LOVED the Saints Cheerleaders. Well Presley did anyways, Layla just wanted to steal a pom pom.


The girls pretty much danced it up on the field all night and finally went down on the side lines to watch Ben throw passes.


I took the girls to the ZOO because Ben was at the conf all day. They had a bayou/gumbo trail with these little shanty houses.


Unfortunately the weather got really cold and rainy that day and we didn't get to stay the whole time:(


This is how me and the girls spent most of our time. Layla on the bed playing games with my tablet.


Presley playing office at the desk with the phones unhooked.





I didn't get to take pics of the food we ate, but lets just say, if I don't eat another po-boy anytime soon it would be just fine with me!
