New Orleans...and I am soo happy!

This was the stop I have been waiting for, and it did not disappoint.  I keep having to pinch myself.  Not only have we made it to the last stop before Texas, but I am in one of the places I have always wanted to go, and it is only perfect because I am with my family.  The drive was free of traffic, and the landscape was awesome.  Especially when we were approaching New Orleans.  Lake Pontchatrain is so massive, and we could see bridge after bridge running horizontal to us.  Where we are staying is just outside the French Quarter, and soo beautiful.  Our room is perfect.  We just returned from a very entertaining drive down Bourbon and Canal street, and then a delicious dinner at an Irish Pub.  Fiona and Ethan were told that under no circumstance were they ever to return to these two streets without their parents.  They witnessed young girls in skimpy dresses on the verge of making some big life mistakes, adults dressed in ridiculous costumes acting way to young and drunk, interesting theme shops, and lots of interesting language.  I think they got the point, and will only go to bars, or drink with Scott and I when they are of age.....riiiiiight?
     Tomorrow afternoon we are hoping to get into the new home.  Hope the road of life cooperates.

While Scott was filling the "Red Sled",  I picked up another Fiona.  She's in the way back.

That warm sun feels so good!

Our approach to New Orleans.

Way to go Fiona.

The architecture here is amazing.  What a dream of a walk.
