New Orleans, LA April 11 – April 15, 2024
We left Auburn and made a short stop to see Valorie in Crestview. Now, we are finally headed west and our first stop was New Orleans. Fortuitously, we planned our stop during the French Quarter Fest. – not to be confused with the Jazz Festival. The French Quarter Fest is held – surprisingly enough- in the French Quarter. Stages are set up all around the Quarter for local musicians. There is lots of food and drinks and a whole lot of fun.
We arrived into the Quarter on the ferry with great views of New Orleans.
We meandered around the Quarter and watched several different musical acts.
Of course there is always local color.
We dined at Irene’s and the food was fabulous. We also had brunch the Copper Vine and that food was just OK.
We also dropped in and had drinks here and there in the quarter.
There is nothing quite like Bourbon Street!
Our friend Dan flew in from Jacksonville for the weekend and we had a great time hanging out. We hope to see him later in the year at the Florida/Georgia game.
We had a great time in New Orleans!
Now on to Texas.
