Louisiana

We took a trip to Louisiana a couple of weeks ago to attend my cousin Matt's wedding. It was an 8 hour car trip and the kids were PERFECT! Seriously I kept wondering who these kids were that were sitting so nice and quiet for 8 hours straight. I'm so glad we can go on road trips now and not have to worry about the kids melting down! the first night we were there Shane and I went to New Orleans for the night and had a great time in the French Quarter. We had hurricanes, crawfish ettouffe and beignets, you know, the best things in life...... YUM!!! The next day was Matt's wedding and it was wonderful to get to see so much of our family. I only wish we could have seen everyone for longer, it was only a four day trip.
