Writing & sticker art on the six-hour drive (a very good distance).
Settling in with a good book.
The second-half driver.
We had fun reading and driving cars.
Near the Louisana border we started to see swamps and bayous.
We went to the Insectarium after we checked in. It was crawling with creepy critters. (I tried to not act too scared but I'm sure I didn't fool anyone!) Henry & Sarah were a little freaked out by this alligator (fake, of course!) at first.
Colorful & pretty displays (I'm slightly less creeped out when they're not alive and there is a layer of glass between me and them!)
Henry checking out the "circus."
This poor kid missed his nap and refused to ride in the stroller. He was pretty hot & tired.
The kids were great on the car-ride over to New Orleans. Six hours is a nice, short trip for our family. Henry took a little nap in the car but really needs a longer one. We missed his window by the time we got to the hotel and he really did OK without his nap. We'll see what tomorrow brings. He fell asleep right away tonight! Our hotel seems to be in a good location and it was fun walking around town this afternoon (hot & humid just like home but we'll survive). The kids are all excited for beignets and the street car tomorrow.
