Work has been crazy banana pants lately and the weather (outside of my windowless office) has been beautiful, which means that I've been experiencing a bit of the ol' cabin fever lately. So I recently convinced the mister to gather up the troops and take a little Saturday road trip down to New Orleans to spend some quality time wandering around outside. We got a late start, but had enough time to take in an afternoon at City Park. It was perfect -- inexpensive, covered by the shade of fabulous old oak trees, and full of local characters. :)
We started off by meeting up with
some old friends and exploring the playground in Storybook Village,
 |
| Noah Rogers = CUTIE PIE |
 |
| the Three Little Pigs |
 |
| Hannah in Wonderland |
 |
| "And the cow (and Lucy) jumped over the moon..." |
then headed over to check out some of the
Carousel Park amusement rides,
 |
Andrew & Lucy cruising down the giant "Fun Slide" |
 |
| Satisfied customers |
 |
| The last antique wooden carousel in Louisiana ~ gorgeous! |
|
| The princess practicing her royal wave |
 |
| Late afternoon sunlight filtering through Spanish moss |
We went home tired, full, and happy, which is what New Orleans is all about right?
