NOLA

Adam and I spent the first weekend in December relaxing in New Orleans, LA. Our first stop after checking into the hotel...Cafe Du Monde for their famous beignets. All that powdered sugar so yummy...mmmmmmm




We then walked around town and checked out the French Quarter before we ate more food..





Next we sampled the Po'boys, these were Adam's soft shell crab Po'boys


We then lounged around a while before doing a bit of shopping and eating dinner.




Sunday we took the famous St. Charles Street Car down the line and back. We stopped off near Loyola and Audubon Park and Zoo where we walked around for a bit and had some lunch!



We finished our trip with a fabulous dinner at Commander's Palace and an excellent night sleep before having one last batch of beignets at Cafe Du Monde and heading home on Monday.

Christmas Christmas time is near...

Time for toys and time for cheer,
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.
