So our trip is fast approaching!!!
The past few days we have been working really hard to get things organized and planned as much as possible. Thankfully we were able to find rooms yesterday. All the hotels in the city were booked and the ones we could find were over $ 400 a night. So we are staying on the outskirts and paying a cheaper price.
During the day we are doing " kid friendly " activities. We will have Scott's son with us and we wanted to do things that he would enjoy..
So on Friday the 17th we arrive.. mom and Don also fly in on Friday.. I think after we arrive we are going to rest for a bit, get cleaned up and head down to the city for a
fun night of entertainment! We don't plan on being in the city nightly but we want to go at least a couple of times!
Then on Saturday our day is going to be spent
wondering around the Aquarium. I think it will be a lot of fun. Its huge and we just plan on taking it easy, not being in a hurry and enjoy the marine life! I think we have breakfast at the hotel, lunch at the aquarium and then find dinner out some where. Then after dinner find something local going on and go do that.
Then on Sunday we are planning a day at the
Zoo! Yep.. that's going to be fun.. from what I can tell its a nice zoo. So again, going to have breakfast at the hotel, lunch at the zoo and then find something for dinner. We might just spend that night at the hotel.
On Monday we are planning on going to the
Imax and hitting up a few of the local Mardi Gras
parades! Can't wait to see some of them!
Also we have an indoor pool at our hotel
so we will be making a splash in the evenings!
We will also be trying out some new restaurants and some more
of the local food. I am not a huge fan of Cajun but I am willing to try a few other things.
Everything is starting to happen now. Next up getting things ready for the housesitter and getting things all ready for the animals. Then think about packing!
Are any of you heading south to Mardi Gras? I would love to hear from you if you are going!!
