Springtime in New Orleans
March 20, 2012Last week we spent spring break in New Orleans with my brother, his super cool wife and their two great kids. We went last minute, and wanted to take the Pugs, so we drove. I love a good car trip. Our three year old loved it too, thanks to a basket full of new games to play on the way. What a beautiful part of the country.
This is my idea of the perfect city, beautiful houses, great music and unbelievable food.
