Hey all, glad to be back and that includes the board too. Overall it was a good trip. We went to my mothers for 2 days which included my sisters 31st birthday party then we delayed leaving for New Orleans on Sunday the 10th because of the hurricane. After we saw it didn't hit them and our B&B owner Karyn confirmed we headed down the next day. My family kept the girls for that week. Adam and I had lots of fun on our trip, we saw 2 plantations (Destrhean & Oak Alley), did a swamp tour, haunted French Quarter tour led by Karen, rode the Natchez, went with Karen to Sallie Ann Glassmans Voodoo Hurricane ritual to Dantour (sp?) ( which totally rocked, there were possessions), ate lots of good food, sweated our butts off & walked ourselves to death. LOL
We went over to Gulf Shores (its looked to wrecked from hurricanes) for 1 day since my husband had never been there before, we stayed 1 night & headed back to my moms for 4 more days and came home with the girls yesterday. Loralie is spoiled rotten now since my mother didn't adhere to any rules we have her follow and fed her junk the whole time & so I'm a little irritated over that part.
I have lots of pictures and will have to post then here later, I can post web sites to our B&B, and places we went if you like for reference of your going there. I also met Voodoo priestess Miriam Williams too. Her and Sallie Ann Glassman were very nice. Miriam is a little off tho but so funny. I can give more details on the trip later but gotta run for now.
Missed you all. :)
PS.... had to come back to add that the only bad part of the trip was that I was told that my grandfather was diagnosed with Emphysema he's 76 & for the 1st time ever my grandmother didn't cook a family dinner when I came home because my mom said she's finally stopped doing it because of her age, she's 75. So we had to go out to eat instead. I only go home once or twice a yr and this time it hit me how old they look and I know when each passes I'm not going to take it well, neither will the rest of the family.
