Mommy and Daddy's Trip to New Orleans

We just got back from our long-weekend trip to New Orleans. It was our first multiple-night trip away from Owen, who stayed with Grandmom and Grandpop Smith (along with Betsy, of course). Owen was totally fine with them - no problems at all. And they had a blast with him!

We flew down on Thursday morning and back on Monday morning, so we were away for four nights. The weather was absolutely beautiful - 70s, sunny, and no humidity! It was the French Quarter Festival while we were down there, so there was a ton of live music EVERYWHERE! We went down with two of our friends (Wendy and Brian), who are also parents - it was our weekend away from the kids!

It was truly great to get away for a few days and relax. And Kathleen was thrilled to not be changing poopy diapers for a few days!

So now... I'm going to post a few separate blog posts to detail the events and pictures of each day while were were down there.
