Great weekend highlighted by trip to French Quarter

By TERRY R. CASSREINO

PEARL RIVER, La. (Sunday, Oct. 18, 2009) -- Can you think of a better weekend?

Partly cloudy skies. Temperatures in the 60s. Great fall weather. The Saints win in an impressive game. Ole Miss wins at homecoming. And the Cassreinos visited the French Quarter on Saturday.

Yep. We packed the kids in the car, drove to the city, took the Canal Street streetcar to the Quarter and walked for a few hours. We ended the night with an unmemorable dinner at Mandina's in Mandeville, but it was still a great, relaxing weekend.

We even took Camryn and Matthew on a horse-and-buggy ride through the French Quarter -- something we promised Camryn weeks ago that we would do. We took a few photos and I am posting a slide show below.

As always, click the photo for a larger version. Enjoy.
