4th of July in NOLA

Independence Day was a big day for us. We spent the daytime hours landscaping our mini-backyard. We went to our friends' house for grilled burgers and hotdogs and then... FIREWORKS on the river! The French Quarter was busier than we've ever seen it. Street cars were packed. The weather was absolutely beautiful though. It was the first 4th of July I can remember where it didn't rain a drop.
