New Orleans!

We've arrived in New Orleans and are at the Hotel Monteleone! Lilly is happy the driving is over for the day and we are off for a night out on the town! More pictures soon.

We had a great time checking out the city where I was born! Pictures include St. Elizabeth Hospital where my grandma worked and my brother and I were born, my pre-school St. Anne and even my cousins' house where my dad picked up my mom for their first date. There's also a pic of my parents' first apartment complex. Thanks Cindy for all the tips!

We had a fabulous lunch at the home of some family friends I hadn't seen in 25 years. So sweet.

Now on to New Orleans!

Beaumont (my birthplace)!

We've made it to Beaumont after a long day that included stops in San Antonio, Austin and Houston. We saw some pretty farms and homes along the drive on the 290. There was some vert quaint spots mixed in and we saw our share of interesting folks. Lilly was such a good sport as this was our longest day of driving yet.

Tomorrow morning we explore spots from my toddler years including the hospital where I was born, my pre-school and the house where my dad picked up my mom for their first date. We'll also have lunch with some family friends who I haven't seen since I was four years old! Then, it's off to New Orleans!
