Jackie and I decided to reconnect and take a little break from our daily responsibilities on a moms vacation.  We flew in Thursday afternoon and went to see Canal Street and the French Quarter where we had dinner at The Gumbo Shop and of course drinks on Bourbon Street.   Friday we walked along the Mississippi and saw the Steamboat Natchez sail while eating hot beignets.  We looked at art at Jackson Square and shopped for our kiddos and husbands in the Quarter.  We had dinner at Chartres Restaurant on the balcony and I sampled a creole plate.  Saturday we explored the art galleries and antique shops of the Garden District after taking the streetcar.  We got rained in a bit but still enjoyed a French dinner at Tableau Restaurant our last night in the Quarter with of course hot beignets for dessert and one final beer to top off the night.  Sunday we got up early and flew home to our families.  I was welcomed home by my adorable family with a beautiful ‘Welcome Home Mommy’ sign.
