Faith Lutheran Springfield Youth

On Thursday, we hit the road early and drove all day, arriving at the church around 5 a.m., where our pastor sent us off with a prayer. The journey was filled with quick stops—including bathroom breaks, 7brew, Chick-fil-A, and a very sketchy Subway. We ran into a little rain along the way, but it didn’t last long. By around 5 p.m., we finally made it to New Orleans. That evening, we had dinner at Legacy Kitchen and got a taste of the city by walking down Bourbon Street. After a long day of travel and exploring, we wrapped up with a much-needed good night’s sleep.

Friday was full of activity and sightseeing. We started the day with a visit to Mardi Gras World, where we toured the behind-the-scenes production area and saw some of the signature parade floats up close. Afterwards, we headed to Boil House for a delicious seafood boil. The afternoon was spent walking around downtown shops where we picked up laser tag guns—later turning our hotel into a makeshift battlefield. We also stopped by the Riverwalk outlets to shop and grab some ice cream. The evening slowed down with card games and time to relax, bringing a fun and refreshing end to the day.

Today was full of fun and adventure! We started the morning with amazing beignets from Stuph’d—definitely a 10/10. Then we explored a street market before heading back to the hotel for a quick nap. A few people visited the WWII Museum while the rest of us rested. Later, we checked out the convention center and then took a long walk to the Superdome for a big mass event, which was super fun. We ended the night back at the hotel, talking about tomorrow’s plans.
