New Orleans

We took a trip to New Orleans last weekend. Chris and I had never been and it had been 20+ years since my parents were there so it was a fun experience for us all. Chris, Jackson and I flew down Wednesday night and met my parents there. We stayed in the French Quarter which was convenient but also very loud. Didn't get much rest as this city apparently never sleeps.

Jackson Square

Beautiful Homes in French Quarter

Katrina Memorial
Blue columns represent water level
Red home and chairs represent what was lost

New Homes in 9th Ward that Brad Pitt has developed
Note the interesting architecture
