New Orleans

We made it out of Washington just in time for the light rain to start, so perfect timing for a car ride.

I have added photos of the Airbnb from our stay last night, as it was so cute.

We had a 6.5 hour or so car ride and we didn’t really hit any traffic until we got to Baton Rouge.

The drive was pretty uneventful. There was some beautiful rolling hills covered in green trees at the start of the drive.

At one point the car AC wasn’t really working and it was 87 degrees outside and Inara was wilting in the car, so we had to stop and we got lunch at Chic filet as they had a frozen lemonade. Once we restarted the car it worked and we were no longer sweating bullets.

The kids did math work, first of the trip which was a start.

We got to our hostel, Hostel International New Orleans about 530pm. We had a walk around looking for food, preferably pizza but we weren’t paying $8 a slice . We ended up with microwave food from a CVS and had an early night in.
