Ouch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh dear.
You know, if the Big Family Vacation plan falls through, I think I'm going to pitch New Orleans as an alternate destination. I've never been!

I would have been willing to take that on faith.
I wish gravity would be kinder to you, ita. I'd ask, but gravity and I have had a pretty rocky relationship.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you fall over or was it more of a reverse headbutt?
Definitely wasn't a head butt. Not entirely sure of the rest of the details, though.

Is it unreasonable of DW not to want to miss a day of work to throw her back out loading fossils out of a truck for her widowed mother? Argh. Bad situation becoming worse over here.

Walking around Audubon Park is nice if it isn't too hot, it's right on the same streetcar line as that tour.
I went to the Mint last time I was in town and really enjoyed their museum - small but interesting. It's over at the Marigny end of the French Quarter.
Oh! Free lunch time concerts at the National Park Site in the Quarter. Near the flea market and Bella Luna and Margaritaville, I want to say. Somewhere along the river in the Quarter, anyway. I think they are every day at noon, you can bring in a lunch. The one we went to was kind of a History of Jazz and Jellyroll Morton's place in it lecture in between piano playing, enjoyable and informative.
And seconding Dana's Aquarium recommendation. I can't do it fast, so it seems like an all day thing to me, but it probably doesn't need to be and a lot of the exhibits are really great. Swamps! Rainforests! Penguin! Jellyfish!
D-day museum is supposed to be really good, but I haven't been.
I know I toured the Cabildo at some point but I don't really remember it. So maybe that's not a recommendation. But I do have a bad memory in general, maybe it's actually a pretty good tour.

Yes. Time is money. Hire a local kid who will do it for less than DW would lose (in money, goodwill, and frustration) by not going to work.

Maybe it's time to refurnish your apartment with bean bag chairs.

You can also take the streetcar around the river bend near Tulane and there are cool bookstores and shops.
