NOLA! (January 28, 2015)

So Papa Tom and I flew to New Orleans on Wednesday, January 28, for a few days of fun before the Zulu Dynasty Mardi Gras float party on Friday, January 30.  I was very impressed with Hertz: we were directed to a board that displayed "Cloninger" and where our rental car was parked, with no need to stand in a line, present a driver's license and credit card, or sign paperwork.  Wow!  I love the computer age.

We've all had Mardi Gras king cakes. We've all had fun wondering whose piece had the baby inside.  Never before have I seen a need for the public to be warned about the baby.  Oh, make that "baby figure."  Not a real baby!  Duh!

Made a beeline (why is it a beeline?  Bees don't fly in straight lines, right?) for Cafe du Monde, for our fix of beignets and chicory coffee.  Papa Tom drinks his half and half: half coffee, half hot chocolate.

Our first night in town, we splurged.  We each got our own order of beignets, although I shared with Papa Tom.

What?  Really?  There's a dress code on Bourbon Street?
