Things we only do on vacation...
1. Walk back 8 blocks just to get our picture taken with a Jester statue.
2. Ride the transportation ferry because our kids want to go on a boat and we are not about to spend $50 for the cruise ferry.
3. Argue with Paul for 3 minutes about whether this is a statue or a real man. Of course I was right and he is a real man...amazing!
4. Pig out at Cafe Du Monde and other yummy southern cuisines.
5. Forget our swimming suits. Spend $23 on a swimming suit for Eden. Put David in underwear. Then muster all the courage I have to put on a sports bra, undies and an oversize t-shirt and jump in the pool with my kiddos. They had a blast. 6. Let David ride the train 2 times because he was so darn cute trying to reason with Paul. He told him: "One more time dad, ok? Just one more time."(as he holds up his little pointer finger )
Other highlights:
Other highlights:- Having a drunk, homeless man laugh at Paul who is trying to take a picture of Eden & David smiling.
-Listening to a really gross, stinky old man tell us his family's secret for crying babies...peppermint & spring water.
- Paying $56 in parking...have you ever?
- Riding the trolley just for 3 blocks because David kept blowing kisses and begging us to ride it.
-Watching people try to calculate our kids...twins?...How could they possibly have 3?
-Eden loving being the big sister. She is such a helper.
* Being together as a family. We did it! Paul and I feel accomplished and exhausted.

What a vacation!!! 56 bucks for parking!!! Argh!!! We'll make sure to remember that if we ever go there. That's nuts.
No picture of you in a sports bra, undies and an over-sized t-shirt? What is this some kind of joke?
Only a best mom who loves her kids dearly would do something like that! I think I would make my husband jump in the pool with the kids! haha

Mom & I would go back to New Orleans in a heart beat just to go to the Cafe Du Monde at Jackson Square. We're so happy you experienced that wonderful city.
