last weekend, we went to new Orleans for a wedding of one of Adam's cousins. it was so.much.fun. honestly, in the beginning, I thought it would be a 'fine' trip. there was much to do before we could get out of town. kids planning, school planning, planning for the trip. I love to plan trips, but I couldn't get my head around this trip at.all.
it turned out to be one of our favorite mini vacations yet-
we saw some craaaazzzzzy stuff, heard great music, ate tons of wonderful food, and just all around enjoyed the city. The architecture was amazing. after looking at the photos, I clearly loved the buildings. we also rode one of those carts that are pulled by a bike. we took a selfie-which adam hates, and it looks as if we are in a wind tunnel, our face is sucked back, looks ridiculous. too ridiculous to share! but we rode one-TWICE!

we took a ferry across the river to see adam's aunt and uncle for dinner. this is nola from the other side. ;) |
