Emma had a 3 day weekend so it was a perfect weekend to escape to New Orleans to visit Aunt Trudy, Uncle Jim, Cousins Jenny, Julie and Ryan - plus their darling girls Caroline and Reese. The kids loved playing together - performing puppet shows, skits, dancing to music and running around.
On Saturday, with matching shirts from Grandma and Grandpa Weatherwax we headed downtown to the Aquarium.
What's a trip to New Orleans without beignets from Café Du Monde. My biggest donut lover is Emma. When we sat down, Emma didn't want to eat a beignet - we were all confused. Later she confessed to Aunt Rebecca that she didn't want the powdered sugar to get all over her shirt :)
On Saturday night, we had a delicious dinner at Mr. John's Steakhouse and then we hit Bourbon Street. Being the weekend before Halloween, we saw some interesting people to say the least. The children hung out at home with a couple of Julie's teacher colleagues.
Our last stop was to Mardi Gras World which is a warehouse where all of the floats are created and stored for the annual Mardi Gras parade. Thank you to the McWhirt and Kenter families for hosting us for such a fun weekend getaway!
