New Orleans Trip

Valerie came for a visit the week of Valentine's Day.  She told Nathan and I that we should leave for a weekend trip so we did!  We wanted to take a trip to the temple but unfortunately our temple (which is 4 hours away) was closed so we decided to go to the temple in Baton Rouge (about 5 hours away) and spend the next day in New Orleans.

We started our day at Cafe Du Monde and got Beignets and hot chocolate!

Next we went to the Zoo!  I always love the zoo!

My favorite dinosaur (Ankylosaurus).

I'm not sure why but we didn't take anymore pictures of our day....weird!

After the zoo we walked through the park and caught the trolley.  We went through the Garden District and saw all the huge houses!  We collected a bunch of beads that were caught in trees from all the Mardi Gras parades that happened the weekend before.  We took a walking tour in one of the cemeteries and learned a lot of interesting facts!  We also ventured down to the French Quarter and got some candy!  We had a great weekend!
