Day 6: Another day in New Orleans

Today we had amazing weather in New Orleans. It was not too hot or too cold--it was just right!  We walked around a little in the French Quarter, popping in stores to sample pralines and hot sauces, before meeting our tour guide from Tastebud Tours.  We walked to several different places and tried many of NOLA's signature foods such as po'boys, gumbo, jambalaya, beignets, muffelatas and pralines.  It was a nice way to get a taste of the city and get a little history along the way.
Afterward, we did Escape my Room:New Orleans.  We had so much fun at Locked In in Birmingham, we decided to try it again but this room was quite different.  It had a couple of secret doors that accessed other rooms and it was very cool.  And yes, we did escape!  I think we had about 4 minutes to spare!
Tonight, at the request of our children, and due to the fact that we are in Louisiana, we ate Popeye's chicken!  Cheapest meal we've had the whole trip!
Tomorrow we are touring movie set locations.  They were filming NCIS:New Orleans right by our campground last night.  We saw a bunch of crew trailers and equipment but no sightings of Scott Bakula. :) We also saw them shooting a commercial in the street in the French Quarter.  Maybe we'll get to see Brad and Angelina's house tomorrow!
