Time for things like holding baby alligators! Boy does she live by the when in Rome motto!
Time for learning about a time in our history that we know too little about. On Sunday we visited the Whitney Plantation, one of the only plantation museums with a focus on slavery. We learned so much and it has us thinking a lot.
Yesterday I was thankful for my birthday! It was as good as it gets and if yesterday was any indication, 43 is going to be amazing! We had a decadent breakfast (bananas foster gluten-free pancakes and a mimosa for me!), followed by a stroll around the French Quarter, then an outstanding narrated tour for kids (but parents also learned a lot!) of the history of New Orleans and the French Quarter, a snack on one of many lovely balconies in the French Quarter, an hour-long line for Preservation Hall that felt like a minute because of the good company, the beautiful weather and the comedy of standing on a street in New Orleans (so many characters!), a great jazz show at Preservation Hall and an outstanding dinner and dessert at Muriel's. Plus somewhere in there, we had Pinkberry. And Lucy got a henna tattoo. It was a day packed full of fun!
