On the Road

At the end of April we loaded up for our first family road trip. What an adventure! First stop, New Orleans for my cousin Mallory's wedding. There were lots of firsts for Will, some documented below :)

Only in Louisiana can you make a gas station pit stop & happen upon a caged tiger. Gotta love it!



A little pre-wedding exploring, chasing birds in front of St. Louis Cathedral.



Learning about Bourbon Street with Uncle Michael. I must admit I felt a little awkward pushing a stroller down Bourbon St. I'm pretty sure ours was the only one! At least it was around 10:30 in the morning :)

Checking out the Mighty Mississippi. Those ship horns were kinda scary.



We stayed at a neat hotel in the French Quarter, here is the view from it's roof.



I'm pretty sure Will liked looking around from up high too!



Playing around in the lobby, I think the other guests really enjoyed a one year old who was squealing with laughter :)

Will's first wedding - does it count as his first wedding if he was outside before it even started ?!

This is what Will thinks of receptions that start at 9:00 PM

Will's first Lucky Dog, they are sold from very recognizable carts all over New Orleans. There was even one at the reception. It was right next to the oyster shucking station - Will & I passed on those!

Thank you paci for allowing us to attend the festivities!

Will's first limo ride back to our hotel. I think he was so excited to be riding in a car not strapped in!

And thank you black out hotel shades for helping Will sleep in and wake up happy after our late night. Now zip up this bag & take me to the beach!
