Our trip, part 2: New Orleans

Here we are in New Orleans! The photos uploaded out of order, but I'm not re-doing it. The top one is at the Lousiana Children's museum. We spent almost 2 hours here! Fiona had a great time in the toddler play area.

Fiona LOVES the mardi gras beads! She calls them "pretties"

The Starkeys in Jackson Square in the french quarter

Happy Fiona playing in the square! It's hot here!

Someone just couldn't stay away from the beads!

National WWII Museum. Fiona slept in the stroller for a good part of the museum trip. We actually got to take in some of the museum. She was the only kid in the building so when she woke up, we didn't last very long.

Cafe du monde for beignets and a cafe au lait (decaf) for the mama. (why don't we have beignets in Ohio? Donuts do not stack up them)



Fiona and Adrienne dancing. We visited Teri and her sweet family and had a great dinner of southern cuisine.

Happy girls!

Visit to the Aquarium of the Americas.

Trip to Austin and New Orleans

Here are some photos from our trip to Austin and New Orleans.

Pub Quiz night -- second place out of 29 teams! Woo hoo! It was about 100 degrees in the evening and the misting fans helped only a little, but we were determined. This was the second of four meals that were either primarily chips and salsa or at least accompanied by chips and salsa.
After the guys went on a morning brewery tour, they picked up lunch for us all from the world famous Salt lick BBQ.


We took the babies to the play gym one day which was full giant inflatable things to climb and jump on. The first stop was the ball pit.

JJ in his swimming pool! We all hung out outside as long as we could take the heat. It was always one person's job to mist the babies with the hose. They loved it!

While the guys went to the brewery, the girls and babies went to the pool. The toddler pool with a slide and fountains was a huge hit.

Happy babies! They don't even need those pacifiers.

Bye JJ! Hopefully it won't be too long until we see you again!
