Going to New Orleans

[ktschris]

Welcome back LL and thanks for the photos. They are amazing. How long is your brother going to be down there?

Where did you guys stay in NO? We need to make a quick trip but have no idea about available accomadations.

Franny, take a look at Ashton's Bed and Breakfast, which is less than 10 blocks from the French Quarter. My sister-in-law's brother owns it and it's very well regarded if you check reviews in Travel Advisor and other travel sites. (And I can tell you from personal experience!) Their website is www.ashtonsbb.com. I know they had damage from Katrina but I'm thinking that they're up and running now.

LL, those photographs you took make me so sad. I can see why people want to stay there, though. Even with all the devestation, you can see it's a beautiful and special place--all those magnificent oaks take your breath away.

Thanks so much mermaid. The place looks wonderful!

We bought the first King cake of the season today. Kate loves the baby- unfortunately Will got the baby piece tonight, but gave it to his sister before a brawl broke out.


Fortunately I am not tempted to eat the King Cake- ick. Bland dough with sugar everywhere- a waste of calories IMO!! But they are funn!
