Who is this dog? He was everywhwere!
We ate Po' Boys! We ate Jambalaya! We ate beignets! If you have never indulged, you absolutely need to put them on your bucket list. Holy cow, yes a cow is what I'll likely become with the carb fest that is Louisiana. Can I get a vegetable please? Beer isn't in that category is it?
The funniest thing we had happen was running into an old friend we'd known in Hawaii. We were walking down some random street and my husband recognized him immediately. I admit, I was not making eye contact, as my old New York City self had kicked in. We yelled his name after he'd passed and sure enough, it was him! We caught up for a minute and are now looking forward to our families being able to hang out, as they live in Houston and make it to New Orleans from time to time. Check a box in the positive column people, we found friends. We also know another lovely couple in Mobile who will likely meet up with us in this jazzy city as well. Oh the fun we are sure to have.
We will get to bring our visitors here and see this city with renewed vigor. Can you feel the excitement? Knowing that this place is so close has made the upcoming transition a bit more of a "big easy". Now I just have to figure out exactly how to home school my kids, this is the not so easy part. Unfortunately, educational trips to New Orleans are not the only thing I need to put on my calendar. We are resilient and will figure it out and make it great!
