After a horrific day of traveling (see jackie's blog for a full description of her horrendous day), Jackie and Noah arrived for a short visit (Dec. 11-14). Connor joined us Friday night, and the next day and half was filled with good eating and lots of adventure (the good kind this time!). We ate at Sara's Friday night (mediterranean-creole mix), and the scallops were excellent. Saturday we got up early (or rather, Noah got up early and we followed suit) and went to breakfast at the Blue Bird Cafe. Then, on to Audubon Park to feed the ducks. After that, we took Noah to the Audubon Insectarium downtown New Orleans. The visit was short, but we made the most of our time! Jackie and Connor are always extremely busy . . . so we were really excited they were able to make the trip down. We topped off the weekend with dinner at Dante's kitchen Saturday night (our favorite restaurant) and a quiet evening at home with a fire and "fake" wine.
Noah thought this was his personal space to play in! he really loved this alcove.

onto the insectarium, where, yes, they served insect food. Worm salsa and chips anyone?
butterflies everywhere!

lunch at Muriel's was excellent (in their courtyard)
Saturday night with a fire and sparkling grape juice (indeed, no wine for us!) We did a quick gift exchange before everyone crashed for the evening. a nice relaxing evening.
