This past weekend, we loaded up, along with the McDaniel family, and took the kiddos to New Orleans! Much fun was had by all! We stayed at the Riverside Hilton which was a perfect location for people traveling with kids! The "Choo-Choo" (trolley) came beside our hotel and we were able to ride it almost everywhere we wanted to go. On Saturday, we had a little excitement when the fire alarm went off at 8 a.m. Did I mention we were on the 21st floor of this great hotel??? Yes, down 21 flights of stairs to evacuate the building! Jacob enjoyed himself and said "Weeeee...." the whole way down (pretty sure he was the only one who enjoyed this part of the trip).
The first night we had dinner at the Gumbo Shop in the French Quarter. Emmie Lane enjoyed chewing on her crayons while my child chewed on his knife-probably not the best choice of toys for a child his age.
We had beignets both Saturday and Sunday morning because the adults kids loved them so much!!
We spent nearly the whole day at the Audubon Zoo Saturday. If you've never been, this zoo is amazing!
Jacob's favorite animal was the "tuttle". Every exhibit, he looked for the "tuttles"!
THis was the best picture that we could get of the four of us!
Needless to say, this trip wore my little Jacob out!
Our first New Orleans trip with Jacob, surely to not be our last!
