Four wonderful days in New Orleans

We returned on the 9th from our anniversary/my birthday trip to New Orleans.  We had not been back for about 16 years and were way over due for a taste of the Crescent City.  We squeezed so much into the four days with our friends, the Schmidts and had such a good time.

Besides eating at some of the most wonderful restaurants, both famous and not so, we also walked the streets of the Quarter and the Marginy (the Quarter's neighbor) admiring the architecture and the glitzy decorations that remain long after Mardi Gras.

Here is just a sampling of what we saw.  The food will come later...

and, what turned out to be a lovely walk with gorgeous homes....

And, what would a photo collage of New Orleans be with out the most iconic architectural building of all.

I'll be blogging about our trip over the next few days.  If you have not been to New Orleans, put a trip here on your Bucket List for sure!
