The Big Easy

We had a great weekend in New Orleans!  We took off from Montgomery as soon as Aaron got off work and were blessed with a sleepy baby the entire way there!  On the drive we got the scoop on the restaurants we HAD to eat at (from Nana and Grandpa Dave).  Our hotel was just a block from Bourbon street in the heart of the French Quarter so we walked everywhere and tried to do as much sight seeing as possible in 2 days!

Breakfast and Cafe Du Monde, mmm Beignets!

 Our hotel pool was like bath water so we made sure to take Marek swimming both days and as usual he loved it!

We took a mule drawn carriage ride tour of the French Quarter and a walking ghosts of New Orleans tour, but we mostly just ate a lot!

We wandered the French Market next to the Mississippi looking for fried oyster po' boys (as instructed) and found a cute Saints outfit for Marek.  The football fans were out in full force this weekend, LSU played Alabama on Saturday and the Saints played the Eagles on Monday, so he got a lot of comments on his suit!

Who Dat?

Mmmm Toes!

During our ghosts tour we stopped by the oldest bar in North America for a quick drink and the waitress thought it was funny enough that the baby was with us that she took a picture and texted it to us.  Marek jut wanted to chew on the wooden bar...

This weekend Marek started making word sounds instead of just squeals, its amazing how fast time goes!  We miss you all and wish this could have been a family trip!
