Big Time in the Big Easy

We're back home in Florida after a wonderful time in Mississippi! It's going to take several days of posting to show what we've done or where we've been.
Jeremy and I were able to sneak away for a night and visit our favorite city of New Orleans. We've been there so many times that it's like a home to us-he even proposed to me there! Anyway, a lot of pics....
It would not be a proper blog post without showing pictures of us eating at Cafe du Monde. The whole point of the trip was to go there!
This is a good advertisement for them!
While at Cafe du Monde, it was so funny to see tourists waiting in lines for tables! If you've ever been there, you know just to walk in, grab a dirty table, and look for the nearest waiter. There was a line of about 20 people waiting in the freezing cold weather and we just stomped on in and chowed down. I can still taste the powdered sugar.....
We also went to Mothers' on Poydras Street-a new favorite place to eat. Try their Jerry's Omelet!
I cannot adequately explain how cold it was in Nola! Being Floridians now, we had to buy hats while there to keep us warm. Also, Pat O's famous Hurricanes kept us in the heat....

Our retirement home....
We were able to stay up late (10PM is late for us old folks) and sleep in. What a wonderful trip with the spouse.....
More pics to come of our beautiful niece and nephew, Jake and Santa, and others to come.....
