Well, New Orleans turned out to be absolutely fabulous. Stayed one block from (the not-family friendly) Bourbon Street, at the Hotel St. Louis. Ate tons of awesome Creole and Cajun food.
FYI: these are not the same. Creole were the Spanish/French settlers and the Cajun came down from Canada.
Went on a swamp tour and saw gators. The kids were delighted to be in flip-flops, or at least toddler rain boots, which were super-convenient for spring weather.And swampy weather.
The only snag was a 1 am trip to the ER. J had a croupy-scary cough. But he was fixed up pretty quickly. Oh, and we almost lost our cosco car seats. Which would have made the drive home from the airport legally impossible. But....we got them back an (sadly) arrived home.
Now I'm trying adjust to my life here by stocking up for our next trip. Online, of course....
