New Orleans City Park

We spent the morning at City Park in New Orleans. We played on the play ground and then walked around the beautiful park. We could only stay for a couple of hours, but I think we could have spent the whole day there. We will have to plan another visit to this park.

Laura and Nathan on yet another bridge. The large circular red brick building behind us is a bird house.


Randy was amazed to learn were moss comes from. It was hanging in all the oak trees in the park.


Laura and Nathan were very hot. It was very humid out and actually sprinkled on us a couple of times while we were playing in the park.

My car with the beautiful oak trees at City Park.


Randy and Nathan at the trunk of the "Suicide Oak" tree.


Nathan and the "Suicide Oak" tree. This oak tree was once an area of despair, where legend tells us that the depressed went to end it all. The branch behind Nathan that is on the ground is over 150 years old.


Then, we climbed back in the car to head to Destin.
