Sunday

Sunday there were no games, so we mostly just slept late, ate a lot and walked around a lot. We started out the day getting coffee at Royal Blend. It's one of my favorite spots, because it's quiet, there are a lot of locals there, there's internet access, and...well...coffee.

This is their cat. I do not know his name.

I call him Lazy Cat, because most of the time he looks like this:

Daddy decided to ditch the baseball cap (the Ohio State was no longer working for him) and get a real hat. The sales guy said, "Where are you from?" and we said, "Memphis, so we need something bluesy, something kinda gritty, with some Southern charm."

Bluesy it is. 

He also got this summer one. 

We went to the World War II museum, which we hadn't visited since the year it opened.

He wants YOU. 

What Tom Hanks has done with that place is beyond extraordinary. If you go to New Orleans, you MUST visit it. And make sure you see the movie -- err, I mean the 4D experience --  "Beyond all Boundaries." It'll knock your socks off.

Later, the boys watched some street performers on Decatur

Can you find them? They're in the middle of the crowd in blue shirts.

And Daddy & I took a carriage ride, because he's never done it before. We rode through the Faubourg Marginy neighborhood, which is pretty funky.

I don't even know. 

Then we rode down Esplanade
(which always makes me think of this:)

anyway...

After our carriage ride, I finally got me some boiled crawfish. Awww yeah.

Get in mah belly!!

Next Installment: Monday, The Finals.
