On the fourth day of our vacation in New Orleans, we took a harbor jazz cruise on the Steamboat Natchez!
We had a New Orleans lunch buffet menu ~ southern fried fish, baked chicken, red beans and rice, jambalaya, tossed salad, white chocolate bread pudding, la Louisiane sliced French bread, coffee, iced tea, and water.

Learning about the steamboat.
After the steamboat cruise, we went to the Chalmette National Battlefield, site of the Battle of New Orleans in 1815.
The Rene Beauregard House is an 1830s porticoed mansion, an example of French-Louisiana architecture, overlooking the battlefield.
Walking in the French Quarter.
Kaitlyn found a cute little café serving beignets!
Beignets, which are a deep-fried choux pastry, were brought to New Orleans in the 18th Century by French colonists.
Since beignets are not gluten-free, I found a little shop that had southern pecan pralines!
We also visited a quaint little bookshop.
Going to the National World War II museum tomorrow.
