We had our first overnight trip last weekend. We left Buddy with his friends at the doggie day care and went to New Orleans which is only a little over three hours from the park. Mapquest and our GPS disagreed on the best route once we hit the city but we found it ok.
We stayed at the Inn on Bourbon Street, right in the heart of the French Quarter. It was built in 1859 as the French Opera House, the first opera house in America.

We had dinner at a nice restaurant and walked around for a while – nothing too exciting. I guess we are getting too old for all the carousing that was going on after dark. We headed for the hotel around 9:00. Kind of early you might think but it was late enough to see the bare bottoms of dancers hanging out of barroom doors and for Dan to see a girl turn around in front of him raising her shirt to show she wasn’t wearing a bra.
It was nice to be able to watch television in the hotel -- we still haven’t figured out how to get any consistent reception here. For the trip back we followed the coast through Mississippi. That was truly beautiful. US 90 literally hugs the coast for much of the state. Beachfront homes are across the street from the gulf. It was such a beautiful drive.
