New Orleans Audubon Nature Institute.



Hey everyone! I wanted to share some photos from our recent trip to the zoo with some friends we did this past weekend. We have the year long membership to the zoo, aquarium and insectarium. Knowing that we're going to be leaving here so soon, we are trying to really use them and take the kids out somewhere each weekend. 

Our first Ferry boat into the french quarter.


On Sunday we took a day off from unpacking and hanging out at the house and decided to catch the ferry (that happens to be only a few blocks from our neighborhood), to explore! I was really excited to be able to take the kids into the city without worrying about parking!

We started at the Algiers ferry stop, waited on a ramp that was for strollers/ bikes/ wheelchairs and cars. I believe the first boat that morning ran at 10:30. It was right on time which meant our wait was only about 5 minutes. Once it got there it was pretty quick loading. We bought an all day pass that was $7 and would include the trolly and buses. We weren't sure exactly how long or where we'd end up so it seemed like the right choice, but we honestly could've just used cash and paid the $2 each way to save a few bucks because we didn't use the other 2 transportation options in the end.

The boat ride itself took around 5 minutes, it was SO fast.
