Update

There is no update. We are just waiting to hear when we are to travel!!!!!!!!!!

Last Trip as 3

New Orleans and Plantation homes,

We had a great time in the New Orleans area and the Plantation area. Emily is at an age where she was just soaking the history all in. It was not crowded and everything to me looked like it did 10 years ago.

This is the Ninth Ward. All the houses are pretty much gone and there was not much of the ruin houses left. Some people were rebuilding, but not many.


(Still figuring out the pictures, so just turn your head a little)

This is Em eating a Beignet donut at Cafe du Monde.

We went to the New Orleans Zoo. It was great fun.

Then we went to the Plantation road. This is Oak Alley. Lots of movies filmed here.



This is the Nottoway Plantation. A couple of Em's friends went along for this one and guess who got to hold them.

Well until next time. Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome!!!!!!!!!
