Springtime in New Orleans
Last 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.

Such a nice cool front walk. Look at the ferns and moss growing from the bricks. |
Oh the colors! Look at this bloom hanging from a banana tree! |
