Day two started with breakfast (and maybe a Bacon Bloody Mary) at The Ruby Slipper. Next, we walked around a bit, where we enjoyed the creative way homeowners keep people from climbing fences! Then we headed to Chalmette Battlefield, since Sarah enjoys those sorts of things. The weather was absolutely perfect, so even I enjoyed the site, especially the house, which was decorated for Christmas. We toured various parts of the city, and saw the Steamboat houses. Next we braved the French Quarter, securing a very impressive parking spot! The Cathedral was closed for a wedding, but Sarah enjoyed the street magician. She was so excited, that she didn't want to leave, so George went down to Cafe Du Monde for our beignets while we explored Jackson Square. While we were there, a couple got engaged! Then it was time to head to the airport. On the way back to the car, we saw a tiny parade, and George made sure Sarah got some beads (not on Bourbon Street, but Royal). Then, as we ate our beignets, we covered the interior of his car with powered sugar! We were sad to leave such a wonderful place!
