New Orleans

Joel and I had the awesome blessing of getting to have a couple days to ourselves last week. A wonderful dear friend of ours watched our kids so we could go on our first trip since the kids were born. Wow, it was great. I missed the kids bad, but I will admit, it was a great break. We went to New Orleans and stayed in a nice hotel down town. There were parts of the experience of NO that were good and some that were not so good. The artistic part and the history part were just about the only good thing. Of course the being together part was good too. : ) We saw a lot of things I only thought were made up in movies. I left very thoughtful and sad. I am very thankful though for my great husband and the time we had together. He is such a great man!

Here are just a few pics from our trip. We were able to go on a carriage ride, see a plantation, and just take walks and watch all the people on the streets. I wish I could have captured everything we saw.
