Our trip to New Orleans

Russell had a business trip to New Orleans and asked if I wanted to tag along. One of the families we hung out with while in Germany just moved there, so we were able to spend some time with them too. We walked around downtown and enjoyed a nice dinner at the Rib Room. We stayed at this old hotel called The Columns in the Garden District. We tried to leave a day early when tropical storm Danielle threatened to hit New Orleans, but couldn't get a flight. Luckily, she diminished and we just had some strong thunderstorms. I was a little worried seeing how we were suppose to be at my baby shower in Florida on Friday. Needless to say, it all worked out. Here are a few pictures from our trip.
