This post reflects the date the entry took place. Because I was using a national wireless connection provided by work, I felt it more appropriate to enter these when I got home. As a result, this is being written on Sunday, April 29, 2007.

Today was our New Orleans trip. It was an exciting time for us because the kids finally got to do some shopping, we finally got to see some of what New Orleans is like now, we finally got to give Adriannah a beignet and we finally got to get out of the house and experience some big city life for a little while.

We spent most of our time in the French Market. The first place we went to was Café du Monde…

… to have some beignets and coffee. Mmmmm, that was delicious and very white.

We then hit up St. Louis Cathedral. Man that place is astonishing…

We spent a good amount of time at the church, the left to hit up the flea market and shops. We made sure to pick up some t-shirts and pralines because, honestly, who goes to New Orleans and doesn’t get the t-shirt and the pralines?

When we got back home we got a nice little surprise. Sandi’s aunt Pat offered to take the three older girls to her house in Lafayette for a sleep over. They are supposed to be having a girls night out complete with all the things that girls would do when having a sleep over. I am sure they will have a blast. And the break from the noise might be somewhat comforting for us as well .
