I could get used to this whole living close to New Orleans. We just made our second trip with Judy (Ross's aunt) and her (and our new) friend Linda for the French Quarter Festival. We didn't stay as long as we would like, seeing how easy it is to make day trips with a 9 month old (sarcasm), but we really enjoyed the trip and hanging out with JuJu. One of the perks of the event is that all the fabulous restaurants of the French Quarter set up tents and sell dish samples uber cheap. We walked through the Quarter, the French Market (and got the most exquisite pralines EVER), and then set up chairs near one of the stages for a little zeideco music. We left just as the crowds were starting to invade and went back to Judy's house for bratwurst for dinner. Overall a great day. I'm really starting to want to venture around for day trips like these since we don't know that many people in Hattiesburg, and I figure since we live so close to places we've never or rarely been, we need to take advantage. Other places I want to go are Biloxi (and the Beau Rivage again), Gulfport, Destin, etcetera.
Coming soon....visit with the Thomas family from Kingwood and (hopefully) a trip to the New Orleans Audubon Zoo! Can't wait!
