We were charmed! The French Quarter felt very, well...French.
We stayed at The Chateau Le Monte. It is a historic hotel, like most everything in NO. The set-up of our room is awesome aside from the mouse who shacked up with us the last few nights. I don't mind...as long as he pitches in.
There was a Turtle Pond right outside our room and Soph visited them everyday. They used to jump in the water from their perch on the higher rock, when we came up. By the time we left, they we swimming over to us or just continued to stretch and sun themselves. We are going to miss those guys.
Sophie took four consecutive independent steps on Sunday, June 5. We are so proud of her and you could tell she was so proud of herself. It was about 4:30, so Eric was just wrapping up the first show, Soph and I were playing at the foot of the bed and I had the key in my hand. She got excited and distracted and before she knew it...she was walking!!! We tried for more steps, like the first, all day, but to no avail. She kept trying for about 2hrs though. We explored every inch of this hotel. Sophie is going to sleep hard tonight.
The record high temps and heat advisory that weighed on the city this week made it difficult for the cast. Their Tony Award winning costumes are crazy amazing, but with a heat index of 110 on some days, it was extremely hot. Across the country, record temperatures were being shattered. It was hot everywhere. The show must go on though. That's the biz, as they say.
Sophie waves goodbye to New Orleans.
Here's a few photos of Soph from this week that are keepers.
First up...Miss Pris
