World War II Museum and a final walk in the French Quarter

First off, I have to include a pic of last night's dinner.   We were SO tired that we didn't want to walk far, and ended up taking a suggestion of the desk staff and walking just a couple of blocks to a place called Walk-Ons - a cute sports bar (can a sports bar be called cute??) with good food.


Love me some fried pickles!


And had my first Po'Boy - fried shrimp!

Sunday it was supposed to rain - a pretty solid chance - so we decided to can our original plan of attending a parade and go with the World War II museum which we had heard was great.  We heard correctly!  They have an excellent 4 D film on the war which takes you up to Pearl Harbor.  Then you explore the rest of the museum which tells the rest of the story.  It was very interactive and well worth the time and money spent there.  






Bill knew that one of the things I was sorry we didn't get to do was get Cafe Du Monde for beignets.  We started out walking to the closer Cafe Beignet, where there was no line at all.  But once there decided to go for it and walk the whole way thru the French Quarter to the real thing.  Along the way we watched a very entertaining street show and saw many other talented performers.  We found our way and after identifying the correct huge line to get carry out, and standing in line for 40 minutes, we had our warm beignets in hand along with some iced cafe au last.  




And they were DEEElicious!!
