We started off our last day in New Orleans with a long list of things that we wanted to do but had to cut it down quite a bit. Day 3 was still a very busy one but we managed to squeeze in some time to relax. We visited a couple of museums, ate some more excellent food and Lucas had a lot of fun checking out the aquarium.

If you haven’t done so already, make sure to check out my posts about Day 1 and Day 2.

Here is a recap of some of the things we did:

• Visited the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum
• Learned about Mardi Gras & Hurricane Katrina at The Presbytere
• Lunch at Central Grocery- Home of the original Muffuletta

We’re back from our trip to Colorado and New Orleans. I wrote a little about our time in Colorado HERE. I had planned to write about our visit to New Orleans a little sooner but we were very busy and our hotel had an internet/ WiFi issue.

Kim, Lucas and I started off our visit to New Orleans feeling a bit tired but we still managed to have a pretty productive day. We spent a good deal of time walking around the French Quarter, tasting a bunch of local specialties and exploring some interesting parts of the city.

Here is a recap of some of the things we did:

• Breakfast at Cafe Beignet
• Katrina/ City Tour with Gray Line
• Lunch at Johnny’s Po-Boys
• Visited the French Market District
• Shared some beignets at Cafe Du Monde
• Had amazing burgers at Port of Call for dinner
