4TH IN NEW ORLEANS

I can't stop thinking about how much fun the trip to NO was on the 4th.

The Aquarium was so relaxing. I could have stared at those sea horses forever!

Later that night, I found a spot on a hill overlooking the water. I was leaning against this old tree watching the riverboat roll by. Across the walk, a brass band played patriotic songs. Families on lawn chairs and on blankets enjoyed the night air and pulled back toddlers eager to dance to the music. The evening ended appropriately with a fireworks display, but what a show...dual shows from twin barges.

I've found my new favorite place to spend the fourth!

What did you do for the holiday?
