...Continued from a 5 day cruise!
Several of us opted to stay in New Orleans when we got off the ship and enjoy the day/night there. We went back to the hotel and it was a little later in the afternoon before we managed to rally the troops to get them downtown. (The group vote wasn't as interested in seeing the sights as they were hitting Bourbon street.) We started off at Felix's Restaurant since ACME Oyster House looked like the wait was going to be too long.
We saw at least 4 wedding parades which was fun to watch. Apparently that is part of the tradition in New Orleans - you hire a band and party through the streets waving your napkins following the bride and groom who have their white and black umbrellas. It was fun to watch!
Jason and I outlasted the youngin's who were with us. We paced ourselves to enjoy the long night! We didn't get to see nearly that much, especially since it was Jason's first time in New Orleans. Guess that means we will just have to come back!
