We’re back. An amazingly easy return trip because both boys slept most of the way. But there is no such thing as a free lunch, everything comes with a price and what goes around comes around – all of which means they had good naps and were not tired again until around 11pm. And even…

Last night, we dined at a place called Heaven on Seven, a Cajun sort of place, which had the advantage of being across the road from our hotel. Good enough stuff, but bring your reading glasses for sure to figure out the menu. Anyway, after eating half of his 107th grilled cheese sandwich of the…
