A couple weekend ago we traveled to New Orleans to celebrate Granny G's 90th birthday!
We stayed at Hotel Monteleone and it did not disappoint. I loved all the beautiful chandeliers they had everywhere.
Once we were settled into the hotel we ventured out for a yummy lunch at Acme. You know if you have to wait in a line then the food must be worth it.
Boots gave it a thumbs up!
The night we had cocktails in the carousal lounge. Lauren showed up sporting a shiny new accessory! We are so excited to gain another girl Schmid come August 22!
Fun times at dinner!
Will and I woke up the next morning in search of beignets and coffee.
We were successful...
No kids means no "30 second button" needed to reheat this cup of coffee.

I really need to go back to New Orleans not pregnant.
What would we do without technology?!
Will submitting a quiz.
We went to brunch at Alexis' house which also happened to be in the center of all the parades. We were able to eat and then walk to a nearby parade.
Back home the kids were living it up with Tula and Pop!
With all the Mardi Gras crazy lots of roads were closed resulting in more walking. Here is a picture Will snapped of his crew trying to make it back to our hotel.
Final party to celebrate Granny!
Schmid Grandkids.
The restaurant overlooked Bourbon street and the later it got the crazier the street got.

Schmid women.
We got home safe and all was right in the world once reunited with these two.
Now this is my kind of Mardi Gras.... they loved the beads I brought back for them.
