The Big Easy

So Friday around four Jeff and I decide to head to New Orleans with the kids. They don't call us crazy for nothing! I had bags packed, car loaded, and a quick shower within 45 minutes. I expect an award just for that any minute! Not to mention reserving a hotel in the quarter in that time, too. I am good! (maybe a little self motivation was behind that)
We arrived that evening to check in and in search of food. Well, after roaming around and unable to agree on taking the kids in a fine establishment we stopped off in a sandwich shop. No complaints. The children were angels despite the fact that it was eight thirty at night and way after bedtime not to mention dinner. Life is good.
The next day we woke up to eat some delicious beignets. One of the highlights for Adalyn. She was so excited about eating "french doughnuts" So Fancy. We could have spent the whole weekend eating doughnuts. No thanks.
Next we headed to a fun filled afternoon at the children's museum and looking at all the art galleries. Every time we walked in one, Adalyn had the same response. "Wow".
Sunday we took the kids to Arnuad's. When we first walked in Jeff and I were both a little stressed about how they would behave. Perfect is all I have to say. Adalyn had a delicious waffle made especially for her that was to die for. I had a four course brunch that would make you all weep. Burke had prunes. Sorry Baby. We'll take you when you get older. Fun family weekend with only one mishap. We will definitely do again soon.
