Sights, Sounds, and Mother's of NOLA

From Metairie we hopped on the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway for a quick drive.   It is the longest bridge over water at 23.83 miles and connects New Orleans to the north shore.  Eight miles of the bridge are out of sight of land.

From the Causeway we drove onto Lakeside Drive along the shores of Lake Pontchartrain and over several canals that help maintain the water levels to prevent the city from flooding like it did when Katrina hit in 2005. 

We made a quick stop at the New Orleans Lakeside Airport

From the airport we headed to Mother's Restaurant.  The second time we stopped by to visit my sister in Pembroke Pines we saw Adam from Man vs. Food visit Mother's restaurant and enjoy a delectable looking Po'Boy.  It was immediately added to our list of must visit sites when we returned to the Crescent City.  On Wednesday evening we finally made it there for dinner.  I got the grilled shrimp Po'Boy and George got the John G.  Mother's is a must for anyone visiting New Orleans.

As usual, we were so excited when our food arrived that it wasn't until a few bites in that I realized we should snap a few photos of our Po'Boys.

After indulging in our Po'Boys we took a stroll to Bourbon Street.
