Spring Break

Still recovering from an awesome Spring Break vacation!! We headed to Galveston last Saturday morning and the kids were so excited to get in the water that they didn't even wait to get changed into their suits before they got into the sand and water!! We spent the whole day out on the beach and lucked out with beautiful weather. The water was pretty chilly but our "water baby" Emma didn't mind at all...we had to practically drag her out for dinner!!




We got up Sunday morning and enjoyed a "surrey" bike ride down the seawall. The kids had a blast sitting in front of us and telling us where to go! Patrick and I didn't realize what a workout it would be, but both of our legs felt like noodles for the rest of the day!

Sunday afternoon we headed to New Orleans and got there just in time to have a wonderful dinner at Chris and Michelle's house. Monday included breakfast at Cafe Du Monde, a ferry ride across the river, street car ride to City Park, lunch and play at the Park, and a wonderful dinner before back to the hotel to rest for another day of fun!

Tuesday included another street car ride, playing at yet another beautiful park (Audubon Park), a wonderful lunch at Chris' new restaurant (The American Sector), a very moving 4-D movie on the history of WWII (adults only!), a great dinner with all our relatives that lives in New Orleans, and a trip to the casino to wrap it up!!





We had a great breakfast before we headed home on Wednesday but we cannot wait to go back in October!!
