Omgoodness.. we are finally on our trip. I am sitting here on my bed in our hotel....Mason St. Charles...with Payton reading over my shoulder! :) We have just wrapped up our day and WHEW what a day!
I got up around 830 this morning and went to the Walk for Me (Easter Seals Walk). I stayed for just a bit but the rain caused the walk to be cancelled. I got my tshirt and basically left after turning in the almost $1300 we raised!!!! Afterward, I stopped, got us breakfast at Whataburger, then headed home. We ate breakfast and started getting ready to leave.
We left the house around 1130 and stopped at Walmart before heading to New Orleans. We made just a few stops along they way. We stopped in Meridian for lunch at Mcd's and then in Hattiesburg at Gander Mountain so that I could get a rain/wind jacket. Then, we made our way to the BIG EASY.
We got to the hotel and it is the cutest. It is like a little suite and is as quaint as can be. It has that old flair feel to it. It's difficult to explain (look at my facebook for pics).
We got settled, then went out for dinner. We ate at Mother's restaurant. It was pretty good. Payton and I had shrimp poboys while Jackson had a shrimp plate and Rusty had red beans and rice. Afterward, we went for a walk around NO. We walked for blocks and blocks. The kids got to see Bourbon Street and didn't like it at all.
We made our way back to the car and headed to find the cruise terminal which is pretty close to our hotel. We got back here and I've been uploading the initial pics to Facebook. We are planning on getting up in the morning and heading to Cafe Du Monde before going to the terminal. I can't believe that this time tomorrow night we'll have the water beneath us and be cruising toward warmer and, hopefully, better weather!
We are all excited and I'm sure will be too excited to sleep tonight!
Toodles for now.
