City Park - NOLA

Sara was in town this weekend!!!

She came in Thursday evening and got to stay until Sunday afternoon.  It is always great, great, great to have her in town, but always toooo short.

On Saturday, we went down to New Orleans because the Bulls were in town playing the Hornets.  Before the game, we went and checked out City Park in NOLA.  Its a park that I hear a lot about in some classes but have never seen it myself, so I wanted to go see it.  The park is like the New Orleans version of Central Park.  It is huge.  Its located in the northern part of NOLA close to the Gentilly area.  One side of the park backs up to lake Pontchartrain.  We went to the southern end of the park where the Sculpture Garden, Big Lake, Museum of Art, and Botanical Garden are located.  We got there to late to check out the Sculpture Garden and Bot Garden which was too bad.  Very cool park.  I had no idea that it has so many different programs going on there.  Would love to go back and maybe work on a project there.  Here are some pictures:
