Hello, all! Welcome to fall. It's a gorgeous day in New York - bright, sunny and 70 degrees. Perfect. I could go on and on about the best season here.....sweaters, bright colors in the leaf changes, perfect running weather, excellent in season food (squash, pumpkin, apples, YUM), Halloween.....and my birthday :-) What's not to love? I have a pretty busy and fun fall planned - marathon training....I swear I will chat about this...I'm in week 6 of a 12 week plan right now. It has it's ups and downs, but we will see what I can accomplish.
But today, I want to go far away. Last week, I had the opportunity to travel to New Orleans for work - we were presenting at a national conference, and my boss was awesome enough to allow Greg and Rob to come along with me for the cost of the flight and food. Sweet. So, last Tuesday, we embarked on a journey...Robs first out of state and on a plane! For a 5 day trip to NOLA. It was amazing. .....
On a plane for the first time - so excited by the windows!!
Chillin at a layover....first with shades and then flyin his own plane!!

| At the hotel....SOMEONE'S gotta get the work done! |
 |
| Our hotel - Royal Sonesta. Right on Bourbon St. in the heart of the city! |
 |
| Fine NOLA cuisine....HAH. This is a liquid city :-) |
 |
| Muffaletta at Central Grocery - a NOLA staple. |
 |
| Cafe Dumond - we feasted on french chicory and beignets. YUM. |
 |
| St. Louis Cathedral at Jackson Square - just gorgeous. |
By no means inclusive, but the whole city was just amazing. Friendly, delicious, and BUSY. Rob never got tired of checking out all of the amazing sights, and we had a nice balance of work and family time. Rob had a BLAST in the pool, and was just the perfect little traveler. Bodes well for our next adventure to OBX :-) If you haven't gone to NOLA, I would highly recommend! But only for a week. Your stomach and liver can't handle more :-P
