Early on Friday morning we walked back to the French Quarter to get some beignets at Cafe du Monde. This cafe has been in New Orleans since 1862 and if you go to New Orleans you have to try the beignets. They are fried squares of dough drowned in powdered sugar.


Of course the line was long at the take out window. What do you do when there's only one chair to sit on?? You sit on each other, of course! Cory sat on the chair, Ben sat on Cory, Logan sat on Ben and Macy sat on Logan. Simple!

This is the tiny order window and they take about 10 orders at a time. How they keep it straight is beyond me. You have to really pay attention when your order gets passed through the window!

This was a really pretty flowering tree by the cafe. The flowers remided me of our flowering crabs but there wasn't any bark on the tree trunk or branches. It was really unusual. I would love to know what kind of tree it is.
