We decided to do a night in New Orleans over the holiday, and it ended up being one of the coldest nights this year. At least the rain had stopped the day before, so we could walk around without umbrellas. I had purchased a family "deal" on my Living social Ap for the Children's Museum in the warehouse district that expired in January, so we were trying to visit there before it ran out. I think my kids are about to be to old for this museum, so it was nice to visit at least one more time.

Mark has his turn:
Katie and some rhythmic gymnastics:
Katie should be a great driver according to this reaction test. Whew!
Emma's reaction time was also better than mine!
I came around the corner to this scene in the museum... Awww!

Emma and her finished product:
Hey look! Mama went on the trip too.
Emma and her mad hula hoop skills, go Emma, go Emma!
Daddy and his girls:
Waiting for our room at the hotel, the Sheraton 4 points in the French Quarter:
Our room was very nice, and a great location.
So after checking in the hotel, we got some lunch and headed down to the Aquarium. I didn't realize Emma had never been there (or at least didn't remember). She absolutely loved it.
It's hard to tell here, but this lobster was ginormous. I'd say it was at least 3 or so feet long.
Emma in the aquarium tube:
Katie:
I really wish she would overcome her fear of having her picture taken!
Daddy and his girls outside the aquarium:
Mama and her Emma:
Mama and her girls:
After the aquarium, we walked to the Riverwalk to get beignets - a must for my kids. It was pretty dark and cold when we got out, so we decided to take the little street car that runs along the river back toward the French Quarter and our hotel. Also a first for Emma:
Our last picture of the night:
