There is a free ferry that runs from Algiers Point to Canal Street in downtown New Orleans. I'm not sure how I've lived here for three months and never been on it...but this won't be the last time we take the trip, for sure! The terminal on the New Orleans side is about six blocks from the Children's Museum and just a few blocks to the French Market and the French Quarter. So easy!
I'll put a link to the web album for today, for some reason I can't get pictures to rotate! ...BUT...here is Carly being very, very excited about finding a Thomas book in the little kids' area.
Then on to Art Splash, the coolest little room where kids can make a differently-themed project every week. This week it was music-inspired collages.
It took Carly about five minutes to explain to me that she was drawing the part of the "pitar" where the stings go across the hole in the middle. Personally, I'm thinking she must be some kind of genius to pull out that one single detail...but I might be biased. =)
Then! They have this neat kid-sized grocery store where you can pick out three things...Carly got a tomato, a salami and a loaf of bread. Daddy's Italian genes are coming through!
Can you see the expression on her face?!! "Ehhh, I'm not sure about this." SO CUTE!

Sorry about this one! I have no idea how to make Picasa cooperate, so I'm just going to add a link to this entire album over on the sidebar. This gigantic papier mache statue was in the atrium - the country for the week is Mexico.
She was trying to figure out what blue means, since green means go and red means stop. =)

Oh, no doubt that the guitar string thing is genius. So, her birthday present from Grammy is a ukulele. Don't tell her!
Okay - I don't think you are being biased...because honestly, my first thought when I read this was, "wow, I'm impressed she noticed that detail to a guitar!" Very smart little girl you got there!
I wish I knew about that boat when we used to visit how cool...
How fun! We'll leave the house when both of us don't have runny noses. Anyone know when that will be????
