The New Normal.... two people, two kids, and two dogs....: New Orleans and the BCS National title

On Thursday we packed the car and hit the road at 5pm.... Drove through the night and got there at 1am.
Friday morning tripp's mom and I took the kids to cafe du monde.

We had a great apartment and there was no tv in living room so we did some dancing.

That day we hit the Verti Mart for a shrimp po boy.

At Jackson square ESPN had their stage set up for the news guys.

Saturday morning Tripp and I got up and walked to the aquarium with the kids.

That night Tripp and I took the kids to a sweet little Italian restaurant. Mona Lisa.

Then we put the kids to bed and snuck out while T's parents stayed at the apartment. We went to acme which happened to be during the saints game .

Gotta LOVE some Saints Fans

That night Tripp and I hit cafe du monde again and called it a night.

On our way home we saw this.... Just because the Saints won!

The next day was the day of pep rallies, and we got to have lunch with our friend Laura Ruth who lives in new Orleans.
Porter fell asleep during lunch....

so Tripp took him back to the apt for a nap.... well he never went down, then it was time for the pep rally so we wheeled him over there and he slept through the whole thing.

I kept joking my kids were so ready for NOLA.. Porter is completly comfortable with passing out in public and Padyn has her cup, beads, and chair and she is set!
