The trip started with a quick flight from Love field to Louis Armstrong. Bix was very well behaved. The shiny peanut packages kept her entertained the whole time.
The shuttle drove us into the city and we checked into our hotel. It was very charming, and since it was Bix' naptime, we were very happy to have arrived. However...even though we had a printed out confirmation of our reservation that clearly said "crib requested"...the hotel was unable to locate one. After some discussion with the manager's manager, someone was sent to Wal-Mart to buy a crib.
We all rallied, and helped Don assemble the whole thing (and then squeeeezed it through the door of our room).
All that construction really worked up our appetites. Deanie's fit the bill perfectly! Bix had saltines, boiled potatoes, and catfish...delish!
Don't try to take her catfish...she'll fight you for it.
We had to walk off all that yummy food, so a stroll through the Quarter was in order.
Bix thought the Quarter was crazy and wonderful...she LOVED it!
After Aunt Kimberly's graduation the next day, we all went out for lunch to celebrate.
Bix tried everything she could. From Gumbo to cochon du lait (her favorite), mashed potatoes, and topping it all off with Bananas Foster...that girl is living the good life.
We had the Nursing School celebration late into the night, so Bix stayed at the hotel with two of her great-grandmothers. A good time was had by all.
On the final day of our trip we took Bix to one of the greatest eating establishments of all time.
She couldn't get enough...don't try to take a beignet away from that girl.
It was a short trip, Bix can't wait to go back...she loves the Crescent City.
