The Wiesner Way: Cruise Part 1 (NOLA Edition)

So to continue our wonderful Christmas vacay this year, we went on a cruise with Joseph's family after the holidays.

We started out in New Orleans, LA, and we were lucky enough to hang out there a few days before heading out on the family cruise. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza on Bourbon & Canal St. (Highly recommend it=my go to place when visiting NOLA). & soon after checking in the hotel we were off to visit Bourbon Street.

We went to a few bars, listened to some live music, and shared a few stories from my Bachelorette party in NOLA.

The next day, we were up bright and early to pick up the brother-in-law and his GF at the airport, and then we did what any NOLA tourist would do.... We ate lots and watched street performers.

^^^People, this guy did not move. He stayed in this position for like ever (or maybe just for the 2.5 minutes we watched him). & it wasn't one of those gigs that you throw money in his jar and then he moves. Trust me, we tried it.

& then we walked to watch the Dragon Master Showcase. Can I just say that no matter how many times I watch them, I still want to go back and watch them some more. But, not enough to pay $20 for a DVD- that would get old.

But for real, they are awesome. They are like PROFESSIONAL street performers. You ask- well why are they professionals?

Because they have the whole gig figured out. They have the best spot. They gather everyone onto steps where it would be super awkward if you wanted to leave in the middle of the show or if you got up when they pass around the donation jar. They harass people walking by. They make hilarious jokes. And they do awesome flips. Let's just say that they are funny, they have it figured out, and from looking at all the people giving money, I bet they make much more money than we do. But hey, it is worth it, and you bet that the Wiesner's will be back to see them and throw 5 bucks in the donation jar next time we are in NOLA.
