spring break...

i'm pretty much going to leave this post up to the pictures to do the talking. spring break ended up being 10 days long, so you can imagine we crammed a lot of junk into those 10 days. we started out by driving the Husband to the airport (where he hopped on a flight to Houston), then proceeded to drive down to New Orleans (where we picked up the Husband who flew from Houston to NOLA after an all day meeting), stayed in NOLA for the night, and then drove to Florida. as the 3yo would say, "we went fru EasyAnna, over the Sippy Bridge, and to Forda. if only it were that easy. the kids had a blast in NOLA, and yes, we took them down Bourbon Street, where they spent every last dime they had on boobie beads. after staying at the in-laws for the week, we packed everything up again and made the trip back home, but this time we finally made the stop in Mobile for a quick stop at the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial.
the rest of the trip was spent at home*, minus the side trip that C got to take to Tallahassee to catch a baseball game and visit the old Alma Matter (*both of our parents still live in Florida, that's where we went to school...it will always be called home). we managed to get in as much beach time, boat rides, and seafood eating as we could, because we usually only get there once a year. i'm pretty sure i had crab claws and gumbo at every meal. this time of year just happens to be NoNo's birthday, and we were lucky enough to be able to celebrate with his cousin (who's birthday is only 2 days later). it was a fabulous week with family and even some old friends we hadn't seen in a very long time, and i can't wait until this summer (just can't stay away from the beach)...
