We spent a long weekend in New Orleans last week and had such a good time!! All three of Patrick's siblings live there now and Patrick and I hadn't been there since 2004 (pre-Katerina). It was so much fun hanging out with everyone and the kids did great!! We had beautiful weather the whole time- which is good because we did lots of walking and hanging out outside!! Here are a handful of the photos we took....
Emma and Bissy waiting for the street car!
Emma LOVED the streetcar!
Hanging out on the Loyola campus, waiting for a street car after Uncle's Matthew's baseball game
Breakfast at the condo
Patrick & Elizabeth
Patrick and I got to go out on a date to restaurant August, yummy!!!
Baseball game #2
Tulane baseball team
Before the game they let the kids run out on the field for the national anthem...Emma didn't want to go but Elizabeth was such a sport and ran after Bryan!
Chris & Patrick
Sunday Brunch at Chris' restaurant- such good food!!!
Emma enjoying a "Hanna Montana" at Chris' restaurant
Outside the restaurant
Chris, Michelle and Elizabeth had found this super fun park for the kids- it was called Storyland and all the play structures were shaped like things from various children's stories- here was Peter Pan and the pirate ship
Pinocchio and the whale
The three little pigs and their houses
Emma and Chris at the top of the castle
Byran and Chris on the firetruck
Dragon slide
Emma and Elizabeth on the magical mushrooms
Cinderella's pumpkin coach
We had dinner one night at Chris, Michelle and Elizabeth's house....we did make your own pizzas on the grill and Emma loved helping roll out the dough!
We didn't get to fly the kite at the park but when the wind picked up at the house Chris climbed to the top of the roof and got the kite going so Emma could fly the kite on the porch
Bryan discovered the stash of mardi gras beads in Elizabeth's room!
Cafe Du Monde!
Swear the whole place is covered in powdered sugar and you are too once you leave!!
Emma and Grandma in the French Quarter
Patrick and I near the river
Bryan and St. Louis Cathedral in the background
Emma checking out her buys from the French Market while she sat in Jackson Square
The theater Elizabeth works at - so cool it is right in the middle of the French Quarter
Emma taking her turn on stage!!

It looks like y'all had a great time. We have vacation coming up in May and it can't get here soon enough. The gorgeous weather is making me want to go now.
