This trip would not be possible without the volunteerism of my parents who are keeping my children and our wonderful and co-foster parent friends, Wayne and Lindsey. They already have 4 kids in their home and added our 2 to the mix this weekend. THANK YOU!! Someone told me last week, it takes a village to raise my family. I don't like this saying because it makes me think of Hillary Clinton, but I like it because it's so true in my extended "network". I have the best "Village". So many people who love me, pray for us and HELP us. THANK YOU.
This is our hotel- the Prytania Oak Hotel. It is very lovely. Hardwood floors, high ceilings, 4-poster bed. Very sweet.
We got here Thursday night. We found a nice restaurant, Houston's. Its a chain, but it was close and it was SO GOOD! Eric and I had ribs, Bradley had Prime Rib, and Kerri had rotisserie chicken. We went and let Bradley and Kerri experience Bourban street after dinner.
Friday started with breakfast at Elizabeth's and praline bacon. Yummy. Look at Kerri's stuffed French toast. We came to NOLA to eat, Elizabeth's did not fail. It was sssooo good. I'm being adventurous this weekend. I had fried chicken livers with pepper jelly. Not a fan of chicken livers, but it was good with the pepper jelly.
It was then off to the Quarter for people watching and shopping. There is soooo much to look at and sometimes participate in......
Bradley and Eric got to participate in a manic show yesterday. We are still trying to figure out how he did that?????
So much fun......we're eating, being merry, walking off calories and eating again. Lots of fun!
He's smiling!
