NOLA

I don't think I mentioned to you guys that GiGi and Poppy also came to Louisiana for the weekend!

We had so much stuff to pack for the weekend that I actually forgot my camera so I was relying on my iPhone camera the whole weekend, hence the short amount of pictures.  Anyway, GiGi and Poppy left Sunday morning and Matt and I left Ben with Nana and Pops and headed to New Orleans.  I just love New Orleans.  The food.  The music.  The cultural.  I just love the way it feels.  It was a fun, relaxing trip centered around eating and drinking our way through the streets of NOLA. 
 




We had so many great recommendations on places to eat that we shared lots of dishes at many different restaurants so that we could try them all.  A favorite of mine?  The macarons at Sucre
 

We also ate at Cafe du Monde, Port of Call - delicious hamburgers!, Cochon, and a handful of other places but those are my recommendations if you are ever in NOLA.  Of course, what would a trip the the Quarter be without a few hand grenades and fruity drinks at Tropical Isle?! 
 


That rounds out our 36 hours in NOLA and now you have my recommendations if you ever find yourself there. 
 
Do you know what today is?!  It is Ben's 9 month birthday!!!  I can't even believe our sweet baby boy is 9 months old.   Saturday you can expect lots of 9 month pictures and all the latest on what our sweet punkin' is doing these days.  In other exciting news Ben had a follow up for his helmet on Wednesday and he is officially within normal range of head shape symetry and Dr. Luerrsen gave us the go ahead to take it off but we are going to continue for 6 more weeks just to make it perfectly round.  Really, because Ben doesn't mind and 6 more weeks will make it extra perfect.  Hope everyone has a great Friday!
