I didnt know about Magazine St and the shopping, we may have to check it out. Done the River Walk more times then i can remember,same for the French Quarter, also done the carraige rides. Missed the river boat ride last time so we may hit that, thanks for mentioning it. I also forgot the aquarium, we'll look into that one. May try to go to the brewery also.

Dinner is at The Melting Pot, my ex-partner has been to other ones and wants us to go with her and her hubby. Id rather not take a Katrina Tour. We were there for new years eve '05 and I remember how eerie it was to come across and off the lake and it was pitch black. We've been back over a few times and I still find it depressing and sad. It's the same we had on the Mississippi coast but a larger scale.

I know what you mean about the Katrina deal. I live with it everyday. I was driving a different route yesterday from the Lakefront and hit a huge pocket of homes that have not even been touched. It is pretty depressing.

I also thought about the Museum of Art over in City Park. They have a really nice exhibit of Rodrigue paintings (the Blue Dog guy). Another really nice museum is the D-Day museum. In my opinion, it rivals the Smithsonian on WWII stuff. It is a very nice exhibit.

As far as the Melting Pot goes, our son waited tables there 2 summers ago. They have not been doing well in the recent past. I think the nostalgia wore off here.
