We'll Always Have New Orleans.....The Grand Finale

We had about a half of a day to explore New Orleans. We decided to check out the Audubon Aquarium. (We figured there wouldn't be any naked street performers in there.)











Mac hangin' with the Piranhas. Piranhas are creepy because they don't swim around. They just kind of hang in one spot very still just waiting for some unsuspecting piece of meat to drop in.


Mac and the kids got to pet the Stingrays. I'm not sure if Holland's hand actually touched water. We had to practically pull Grey out of the water, he was so into it.


Only in New Orleans do you find an exhibit of Drunken Fish (Pacu).


Petting the Baby Nurse Sharks


We had lunch at The Hard Rock Cafe. It was just like Houston's Hard Rock in that took 2 hours to get our food! Papa and Mac are on their 4th round of Iced Tea and still no food. Holland is so hungry, she's eating the lemons from the teas.

Mac gave this Silver-Painted Street Performer a dollar to take a picture. Then the Silver Guy tried to offer Holland a sucker. Thank goodness she ran and hid behind one of us. We taught her not take candy from strangers and they don't get any stranger than this guy!
