More Vacation Pics

Here are a few more pictures from our trip. These are from New Orleans, where we stayed for 1 night in the French Quarter. You wouldn't really know the city had been under water a year ago in that part, except there were signs of it driving in from the airport. I think we were there about a week before Mardi Gras started, so the decorations were up, but without the madness of all of the people.

Well, they do call it the City of the Dead...

Vacation Time!

I'm getting ready to go on vacation for a week and cannot wait! My mom and her brothers have planned a surprise family reunion/50th Wedding Anniversary celebration cruise for my grandparents. We leave this evening for New Orleans, from where the ship departs, and then will head down to Cozumel and Costa Maya... and hopefully into warm sunshine!

It has been really rainy and cold here in Phoenix the past few days, so it will be nice to see sunshine again soon and just relax with my family. I'll post some pictures when we get back.

Also, it should be interesting to see New Orleans post Katrina. We are staying in the French Quarter for one night, and I've heard that part is pretty much back to normal, but should be interesting regardless.

Since I'll be out of the country for several days, I may be unreachable via phone and email, but I'll try and check whenever we have connections. Yeah vacation!
