I'm just catching up on our NOLA posts. You are such a wonderful photographer Brook!! Seriously, wow. I felt like I was right there with you.
Oh, thank you! I love taking pictures of all sorts of things in attempts to capture the feeling of wherever I am. And I love to share it all too!
Awww, I love how Henry was so speechless at the fire station! I would love to know what what racing through his mind right then!
Yum, those beignets looks so good! Were they warm? Mmmmm...
Love this pic!
The garden district is so pretty! I just showed Tom some of your pics and asked him if we could visit someday. He's not interested... I'll have to plan a trip with my mom and/or sister!
The beignets weren't really warm, but not cold either. Just above room temperature if I remember correctly.
I love that pic of Henry too. He's so excited and his blue gray eyes just pop out! I love him in brown!
Not interested?!!? Why?! It really is a fun City, lots to see and do! If we ever go back I would want to go during the spring or fall when it's warmer so we can get more into it all.
I know, the Saints thing - pretty sad, eh? We just laughed and laughed at each other when we realized the Saints were a football team and they were about to go into the Super bowl. No wonder we saw those logos everywhere and everyone was wearing black and gold!
It would be so awesome to go into all those houses and see how they are decorated and soak up the history they hold. What a cool city!
Such cute pictures of Henry and the beignets!
I love the fact that I can see your pictures at school!
I need everyone to go and put their pictures in the same place you put yours so that I can see them all!
On second thought, for the good of the education of my students -
maybe not. I should probably teach while I am here, huh?
I would LOVE to go into those houses!!! I would love to learn the history of them, who lived there years ago when they built it. What did they do? Why did they live there? I just get so excited about that kind of urban history!
Henry had such a good time eating there. He thought it was hilarious that he was allowed to make a mess and throw the sugar on the floor!
about the pictures! I use SmugMug and I really, really like it! It's a paid service, but you can put as many pictures as you want out there, and it's fast, and you don't have bandwidth limitations like Photobucket. It is NEVER down either. Plus...all the teachers on the boards can see my pics!
Love the self portrait. Since I'm the picture taker in our family, I will have to remember to do that on our next trip.
Also love the powder noses, and love the look on Henry's face when you had some on your nose. There is nothing us moms won't do for our little ones. No matter how silly we look.
Can't wait for the rest of your report, so that you can start that pre-trip report. Since we are going to Disney in November, I can use your pre-trip and trip report to help make the wait seem less.
Mirrors and shadows - those are the 2 places you'll find me most often! I am getting better at remembering to give Joe the camera sometimes to get a picture of me. And we *might* have a little pocket point and shoot on this next trip, so he'll probably use that. I cannot even imagine how many pictures we'll have if we do buy one!
That is very true about being a Mom! The other day we were riding the train and singing songs - and he wanted me to dance. So I did! Right there in front of about 30 other New Yorkers!
Aren't PTRs and TRs a great way to tide you over to the next trip? So many great ideas are found in them too!!
This picture is FANTASTIC!!!
What a great thing to treasure from your trip. Another great installment, I love all the old houses, they are simply beautiful.
Thank you! It's one of my favorites as well!
Hi Brook! All caught up, again
Your NYE in WDW sounds lovely! I can't even believe the amount of people!!!!! WOW!!!!!! That's just complete insanity!!! I'd have an anxiety attack! The poly beach dis meet sounds like so much fun!!!!! I can't wait to meet more dis friends in Oct and Dec! I would have been bummed too not being able to spend that time with my hubby and little one! But it's not like you didn't try! Henry looked so cute with the present!
Your trip to New Orleans sounds so great! I can't even believe the fake $20 and your experience on the plane though! YIKES! I'm glad Joe got the cell phone back! I'll admit, I love SW, but DS7 got really sick on the plane while landing one time and the flight attendant was not nice to me! I really want to smack her! Those Beignets and Lait look soooooo divine! YUM! And more YUM!!! WOW!
The crowds were something else...but it all flowed pretty well. Disney did a great job controlling it all!
That is awful about your DS getting sick on the plane! And horrible to hear of the flight attendant in such a situation. I've had one like that on Northwest. I turned on my light to get some water because I was really not feeling well, she walked by and turned it off and kept going. I called after her and she stopped, turned around and GLARED at me. It was so strange!
Love all your updates and pictures--so many great memories to share with Henry when he is older.

It is really fun to look back at the pictures now with him even. When he sees himself as a baby he gets a bit confused. Maybe someday I'll use some of these vacation pictures and do a big album for him.
