Down to New Orleans...

Our drive to New Orleans went much more smoothly than I ever would have imagined. Fletcher had his first opportunity to pee on the side of the road which was more exciting for him than the beautiful sunset and train passing by.

The kids slept through the night, which is more than I can say for the adults. It was a rough night, but we made it safe and sound and managed to stay awake through dinner...barely.

We slept until 10 am this morning - a first (and probably last) for our kids - then had breakfast and did a little swimming.

We're off for a bayou tour in just a little bit. We haven't ventured far from our hotel as of yet, so it will be nice to see more of the city. Driving past the Superdome yesterday was a bit surreal. Even though it's been 5 years since Katrina, I can still remember seeing photos of all the people outside, hungry, dirty and hopeless, pleading for help.
