New Orleans

OK so I have a very fun inexpensive day to suggest for you if you find yourself in NO in the near future! Yesterday we rode on the street cars. It was sooo touristy I loved it! You should have seen us with our cameras taking pics like we have never been to New Orleans before lol. You can purchase tickets when you step on the car. Cash only. It is a dollar and some change per ride or 3.00 for the whole day. We bought all day tickets and got on and off as we wanted. It was so pretty outside and the windows were up in the car and the wind was in our hair. We stopped for a drink then got on and went to the next bar location where we had another drink. Then back on the car to a place to grab a bite to eat. Some more on and off for drinks :) then we were brought back to our car! We only rode on one rail line but we could have taken all of the routes with our pass. We made it for a semi short day as we didn't want to have to drive tipsy. It was also great that in NO you can ask for a to-go cup for your beverage of choice not all places allow that so we did some walking and drinking also because it was such beautiful scenery. The houses there are from the 1800's (a lot of them) and they are amazing! You can't drink on the street cars so you will have to finish before you get on but they have trash cans at most of the stops for people like us :) You can look at the NO Transit Authority if you want to plan your trip. I will say I highly recommend it! I can't wait for it to be closer to Christmas so that we can go in the evening and look at Christmas lights! How amazing I bet that is! There were so many houses decorated for Halloween it was sooooo much fun. Check it out if you are ever in town. I wish I would have done this a long time ago. A big thank you to Mari Ann who gave me a starting point and lots of suggestions on where to go for a good time :)
