Weekend Getaway to New Orleans



We took a quick trip to New Orleans this weekend for a visit to the aquarium, zoo and golf tournement.







I have not been back to New Orleans in several years. It was fun to stroll the streets again.




Alex was feeling the vibe




Tucker was asking.... " where are we again?"








Nana and Pop went with us.






The aquarium was fun. They had beautiful coral and fish









The boys loved the frog exhibit













This was the first night we have stayed in a hotel room with the boys. It was quite an experience to have them in a confined space overnight. We did not leave rested the next morning.






The luggage cart was a big hit.





Sunday we headed to the zoo. We loved it. It was a beautiful day and the boys had a great time.





Notice Tucker leaning forward and taking everything in. He was this way the entire day.























They got to pet a snake and a lizard. The zoo keepers had to remind Alex not to squeeze the lizard. He got a little excited!





























Alex and Tucker love pools of water and fountains. We stopped at every one.


















Alex loved the carousel. He cried when the ride was over. He did not want me to hold on to him while it was going either. He rode like a big boy.







We had a great weekend.
It was a quiet ride home....
