My Partner in Crime
And I had a fun day feeding the ducks at the park, then lunch at Chucky Cheese.....I found out I'm too old for CC.

The Mighty Mississippi
I sometimes forget just how powerful the waters of the river are, or how important it is to the economy of the U.S.
Recently a freighter plowed into a barge carrying thousands of gallons of oil, causing an oil spill in the river and shutting down the river for days. This first photo shows the barge being partially lifted. The oil is being pumped out of the barge which will then be cut into pieces so that it can safely be raised out of the river.
Watching this small tug boat maneuver that big barge was amazing.
The Port Authority building is on the river front and makes a beautiful reflection of the Crescent City Connection, the bridges linking the east and west bank of New Orleans.
