It is New Years Eve, but more importantly it is Jack’s Birthday! He is 16 today and Jana and I could not be more proud of the fine young man he has grown into. He is kind, generous and caring. He is athletic and creative. He is just an all round wonderful human being.

We have plans to take a walk around the French Quarter early, before it gets busy, and spend the day together hanging out and celebrating Jack’s birthday.

Having your birthday on New Years Eve, Christmas Day or other such major event days can be a bummer, but even though we are all looking forward to 2021 today is about Jack. We are so excited to celebrate his 16th birthday with him.

Jack is a suprfan of “The Office,” so we opened the day with “The Office” themed party. This involved a whole RV set redesign with signs, deflated balloons, “The Office”

paraphernalia and more Office backdrops and it is a wonderful start bto Jack’s big day.

After celebrating Jack’s birthday and opening his presents, we headed to Downtown New Orleans. It was raining off and on and started raining really hard which freed up the streets significantly and allowed us to roam a little more than  we had planned. Cheap rain ponchos came in handy and it was warm enough for us to have fun in spite of the rain.

In our wanderings we came by Felix’s, a restaurant and oyster bar Jana and I had frequented pre-kids and we grabbed take out there.
