Summer Vacation - Day Five

After saying our goodbyes to Jon and Corianne's family, we left for New Orleans, Louisiana at around 11 a.m. We arrived at our destination at around 5 p.m. at the downtown Hilton on the Riverwalk. We'll stay here overnight and walk along the river as well as touring the French Quarters district tomorrow. There is a free Ferry that takes you across the river to the old section of the city that we may do tomorrow as well. Then we'll head home to complete our six-day vacation.

We stopped at a rest area at the Texas-Louisiana border. They had a short boardwalk through a swamp that we walked. While on the trek, we saw the biggest grasehopper we have ever seen. It was huge. It was probably 10 times the size of the largest grasshopper we are all used to seeing.
