A couple of weeks ago we headed to New Orleans and Baton Rouge (pre-Gustav) for Nick's sister Madelyn's wedding. We flew in with the kiddos a couple of days early so we could spend some time exploring the area. I had never been to "N'Awlins" so was excited to check it out. We met up with Nick's sister Ava and her boyfriend, Tommy (now the newly engaged couple, by the way, CONGRATS TO THEM!) and walked around the French Quarter. We had lunch, strolled around, indulged in DELICIOUS beignets and cafe au lait at "Cafe du Monde" and took a carriage ride around the quarter. I sampled an obligatory Pat O'Briens hurricane and we all made our best effort not to spontaneously combust in the sweltering southern heat! :) It was really fun! On our way back out of N.O., the kids, Nick and I celebrated my parent's anniversary with them at a fantastic brunch at "Commanders Palace". A wonderful family weekend of both Harris and McKenny. Blessed are we.
