New Orleans

We went to New Orleans this past weekend to watch the Rebels play football.  We stayed at Le Pavillon, a few blocks from the Superdome, a few blocks from Bourbon, and few blocks from the river.  My first impression was that I didn't think I was going to like staying there--It is an older hotel where the rooms are updated, but decorated in an older era.  By the end of our stay, I really enjoyed the hotel and how different it is to all the newer, modern rooms we are used to--even with the stories of ghost on our floor!  I think I can say this has been Garrett's favorite hotel so far--and he has stayed at his fair share.  Every night at 10:30 in the lobby, they server peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, milk, hot chocolate and marshmallows, and coffee.  Both nights we were there he and Kaki made their way to the lobby to have a snack.


One happy boy!



Go Rebels!


I have no idea where this picture was taken, but I do love the background.  I am sure that we were people watching wherever it is!

Daddy's birthday and the zoo

We have loved going to the zoo this summer.  It has been so hot, that we only go for an hour or so each time--thus so many posts about the zoo.  Seems that's our favorite thing to do.

Music class


Garrett started Kindermusic.  They learn rhythms, difference in high and low, and they get to play with a few small instruments each class.  He got a xylophone to take home for his instrument..
