NOLA Day five

We were at back at the stadium bright and early Wed. morning. Sam ran at 8:45 and then Peter ran at 12:15. The stadium is in City Park, the third largest city park in the nation. If we had more time I would have liked to explore it more. They do have a huge dog park with playground toys just for dogs!


Mom and I enjoying our free saunas! (Seriously, I'm sure we sweated out a lot of junk on this trip, and I lost 8 lbs!)


So HOT!


They are done! They didn't place, but it was a great experience.



Some pics of the races. Sam starting his 800.


and Sam finishing.

And Peter finishing.


after the race, Sam found some energy to jump this post.


After leaving the stadium, we went back to the camper to shower and then went to look at some sugar plantations.

This sign looked funny. San Francisco is a plantation house, we drove by but didn't get out.


This little shop was along the river road. Adam was asleep otherwise we would have stopped.



This plantation was the most interesting to me because it has a Disney connection...



In this building is where the stories of Br'ar Rabbit were told and recorded!


Me by some sugar cane!


This graveyard is just on the side of the road. No fence, no sign, nothing. Just crypts and a sugar cane field.



After exploring some plantations, we drove to Gonzonga, a town between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, to do some outlet shopping. We found some great deals and had fun doing it!
We stopped for dinner on the way back to New Orleans and then went to bed!
