Our New Orleans Photo Album
We went to New Orleans March 17,2005. We celebrated our anniversary there. I had always wanted to see this place and Chris arranged a surprise getaway for us. We flew into Biloxi and stayed at Magnolia Plantations in Gulfport Mississippi. We drove into New Orleans from there. It is about a 45 minute drive. We had a very nice time and I am thankful we got to see the city before Katrina took hold. It was a very busy city with plenty to do. Lots and lots of bars. It is not a place I would want to go on a family vacation but for the two of us it was a nice getaway. This was the first getaway we ever went on without the kids. Here are some pictures of the wonderful sites we enjoyed while we were there. I hope you enjoy them as well. Where we stayed: Magnolia Plantation in Gulfport Mississippi     The grounds The Peacocks were everywhere they were gorgeous!   We went on a Voodoo tour and into a Voodoo temple. We experienced Priestess Miriam is who a well known Voodoo Priestess. It was quite a culture shock but I am glad we experienced it.   The offerings New Orleans is steeped in history and tradition. There is a lot of different things to see.When we went on the Voodoo tour we went to Saint Louis Cemetery #1 in New Orleans that is where Marie Laveau is buried she was known as the Voodoo Queen.   There is a lot of graphiti on Maries grave because people think if they mark it with xxx and make a wish and offer her something she will make their wish come true. See the offerings hanging on her grave. And all the graphiti.  Other graves are even worse off.... On our walk back we enjoyed the neighborhood....    We decided to go on a Riverboat Jazz and Dinner Cruise that evening...on our way there we noticed this neat statue and I had to have a shot.   This was across from where you get on the boat. This is Jackson Brewery.  The Natchez  Watching the Jazz band On our way to the airport we had a few hours to spare we decided to try our luck at gambling.We played blackjack and this is by far the friendliest and best place I have ever played. I ended up winning all of the money I spent while visiting New Orleans. ( not enough to pay for flight and hotel but for my spending money) We had a great time and I am so glad we got to have this experience.
