The kids and I were fortunate enough to tag along with Kurt to New Orleans for a Medical Research Conference. In between Kurt's presentations we were able to fit in quite a lot of fun. After a trolley car ride to an above ground cemetery, a walk through the French Quarter, some New Orleans gumbo, and a couple preMardis Gras parades we both agreed that New Orleans is one of a kind.
Isabella's favorite Disney movie is Dumbo (all elephants are Dumbos according to her), and so this baby elephant statue won her heart. 
She was pretty amazed by the real live Dumbos as well and the way they used their trunks to splash water on themselves. Her favorite part of Dumbo is when the Mommy Dumbo uses her trunk to rinse off the baby Dumbo during his bath in a bucket of soapy water.
And of course, the elephant was her animal of choice on the carasoul ride with Daddy.
And I think we all know by now which animal Kurt is partial to.
Gators, and particularily, Florida Gators!!!
The white gator was cool, but like I said, we prefer the blue and orange.
The gumbo at the Palace Cafe was mmmm, mmmm, good!
After tasting a beignet from the famous Cafe du Monde I was relieved we would only be in close proximity to these tempting pastries for two more days. Kurt and Isabella wearing their Cafe du Monde paper hat souvenirs.
