The Good, The Bad, and well The Ugly

We decided to go with Jason while he had to work in New Orleans for the weekend...

THE GOOD...

Jason getting a hotel with a great pool for the girls to swim

Loving the pool

Going to the fabulous New Orleans Zoo, it really was great

Hadley and Mommy with the Giraffes and Hadley with her

little Sophie giraffe (fabulous teething toy)

Dancing with Daddy at a very interesting restaurant

Enjoying an incredible park...Reese was very focused on the ducks.

THE BAD

This picture will have to represent the bad...since this Gorilla was being very bad and running around putting branches on his head...and here are a few bad moments...

1) Trying to entertain a 3 year old (quietly) while trying to get a 9 month old to take a nap all in the same hotel room

2) Deciding to just "find" a restaurant to eat at with two small children in a new city...an hour later and two crying girls...we find a very bad restaurant...lesson learned...plan ahead!

3) Being in an airport for 3 hours waiting for your flight with two VERY tired little girls...lots of crying!

4) Taking the recommendations of a "family mall" from the front desk only to find yourselves in a very dirty and scary mall...

THE UGLY...not sure this picture needs words...but what is that?

But, all in all it was a great trip...lots of fun family time and lots of things learned for our next family trip in a hotel room and new city!
