After a great morning at the Spiegel Household, we left for New Orleans for the second leg of our trip. The driving was uneventful and we only hit traffic right at the end. It was Friday afternoon rush hour after all. We got to our hotel about 5:45 and it was a race to get showered, ready, and back out the door to get to the rehearsal. The kids were great and looked so cute in their rehearsal outfits.
We ended up being a bit late to the rehearsal, but we made it! It was great to see everyone, but it also dawned on me that I had brought the completely wrong dress. The wedding was being held outside and it was unseasonably cold in New Orleans. I brought a dress for 70-degree weather and not for 40-degree weather. Looks like a trip to the mall tomorrow! After the rehearsal, we headed to R & Os for a fantastic dinner. We had to wait for a table, but it was all good because we got to hang out and talk to everyone. It was great to see all of our family and to meet Amanda’s family. They are awesome, by the way! The kids had a great time (as did Andy and I), but we were all tired by the end of the night. It was back to the hotel for bed and dreamland.
