New Orelans Trip!

Our trip was a success. We managed to take a quick romantic trip and get some much needed relaxation. The French Quarter was packed with people the whole weekend, which made it harder to do some things, but we still had a good time.



One of our favorite things was sitting by the Mississippi River listening to a musician play some music. It is amazing how therapeutic listening and watching the water can be. One day we'll have to get a beach house or something so we can have these getaways more often.

Not sure if it was all the delicious food, but here is a great belly picture of me at 29 weeks!

Jackson square was beautiful. It really made us feel like we had left the country. New Orleans has so many characteristics of the Spanish and French that we imagined we were in Paris or Mexico City again.

Here we are at dinner


Shawn even got to see some artillery. That made his day!



It was soooo cold!

Luckily I got some chocolat chaud at Cafe du monde to warm me up. Shawn had whiskey.

Then we ventured to Bourbon street. Here is a video of some of the shenanigans we got into. I never thought I'd play with a Zydeco band. Go figure. That is me playing the washboard!



We had a blast on our trip. Only one thing was missing....Tyson. He spent the weekend with his "gammies" aka my mom. I can't wait to see him tomorrow when I go to CSTX. Shawn will be joining us on Christmas Eve!
