America - New Orleans / Slidell / Pearl River

This past weekend we spent some time with some awesome friends in New Orleans/Slidell/Pearl River. We stayed with our friends George & Carrie - they are awesome!
We went down to the French Quarter on Saturday morning. We haven't been there in a while - It was fun :)
The French Quarter always has fun stuff around :)
Aashini liked the view from the top the best :)
We had some yummy Muffalatas for lunch!! Yum!!
We were there during the Creole Tomato Festival, so there were some fun extra things there (like this balloon lady) :)
French Market!
We got some yummy Slidell Snowballs :)
We got the girls Strawberry - Clear ... doesn't stain the clothes! haha!
