I skipped a little bit - but I will sum up the weeks prior to our vacay in the next post! We left for Spring Break with sunshine dreaming . . our house under contract . . and big plans to wrap up multiple months stay plans in the sunshine state for May -July. First stop: NOLA!
We just can't resist some fresh seafood and the french market! (and those organic banana daiquiris! yummo!)
Kerry, Jayden and Kyler went to see the Miami Heat play our first night. Evan's not really into it like the older boys, so he stayed with me and we did some extra eating.
They had awesome seats and a great time!
This kid - loves him some cajun food! for MONTHS when you ask him what he wants for dinner he says, "Crawfish" or "oysters" . . ummm we live in NWA - isn't exactly readily available! Let's face it. . you can't beat charbroiled oysters in New Orleans!
This was all before that lovely little 1st grade stomach bug that was going around his class and we thought we had escaped, took little man down! It just wouldn't be a pitts vacation without someone barfing, now would it?!
The streets of NOLA
Brunch with my biggest boys (Kerry stayed in the room with Evan - we had to split time taking care of the sicky)
I love that the boys enjoy the history and art scene anywhere we go. They always love looking at the local art as well as famous galleries. Kyler had been studying the Blue dog paintings in art and had even done one himself, so he was very excited to see them in person and return to art with information on the gallery.
We never tire of a Battleship tour! Complete with reenactments and sound affects!
Finally, some beach living! We had a 4 bedroom condo at our usual summer destination, Indigo. It was nice to be able to spread out and have a week of beach living, even though it was a tad bit chillier than usual. The hot tub and one of the pools was heated, and of course a Pittsboy isn't going to let frigid cold temps in the other pool stop them from plunging! There are some interesting GoPro videos of that!
We did a little fishing and bay exploring. . . that's a tiny crab - not a spider.
We also explored the Gulfarium and hit another favorite spot - the air museum! AND, we got to meet up with the Deals you were vacationing as well!
We had a great break! Lots of good food, some beach life and relaxing days. Just what we needed before we resume hectic schedules and prepare for the ending of the school year!
