A Third Day

Josh took yesterday off so we had a third day to our weekend. It was everything you'd imagine a third day to be - relaxing, productive, fun, and new. 

We took Emerson to the Natural History Museum because she has a thing for animals. We discovered Monday's are a great day to go! There was only one field trip group there so we had many of the exhibits to ourselves. 

It was everything we were hoping it would be for her. She ooo'ed and waved her way through it all and Josh and I lapped up her reaction. Children bring their parents so much joy, don't they?

Our family selfies now include hippo. Everyone, hippo. Hippo, everyone.

Waving at all the taxidermy. 

We lunched at Bottega Louie.

There's something magical about being in a beautiful space. It makes you feel beautiful and brightens up a mood.

We sat in the quick service area so the little was relegated to the corner since our table was so small. She didn't mind though. Our little people watcher was too busy waving to the waiters and to the ladies next to us than to notice her distance. Besides, she was next to her momma. Where else would she want to be?

I do not believe that New Orleans has a monopoly on beignets. There, I said it. Guys, I've had both and this chocolate hazelnut beignet was pretty darn delicious. Different but equally as wonderful as Cafe du Monde.

Third day's for the win.
