Memorial Day Weekend

What a better way to spend the Memorial holiday than a trip to New Orleans to visit family. We decided to go last minute, so we packed our bags and headed down on Friday, May 28th and came home on Monday, May 31. Bless my husband's heart...he was just getting in from Birmingham, Al on business and then he had to turn around and drive all the way to New Orleans. The whole weekend it rained and rained some more, but we still had a great time! We visited the Insect Aquarium which is always fun. We visited Cafe Du Monde for their famous benets and enjoyed some jazz. Thanks Aunt Nancy and Uncle Glynn for the wonderful time!

We rode a Ferry to downtown to enjoy Cafe Du Monde and the jazz..

Here are pictures from the Insect Aquarium. They have the cutest little movie that we always have to see multiple times. The kids enjoyed looking at all the bugs. Pierce was a little under the weather, so he didn't get to come with us.

One afternoon we went to a Seafood place called Perino's. We thought we better eat seafood before the BP Oil Spill messes everything up. The kids had their chicken fingers and shrimp. I had the fried oysters and Bill ate the catfish. Glynn and Nancy shared lb of crawfish, but of course we munched on them too.
