The Lousiana experience

Here are a few pictures from the Louisiana experience. The first is a beignet (donut with powdered sugar), the second is a funny sign that I saw someone holding on the street, and a picture of myself holding Candice Anne.

I went down to Louisiana to visit my Sarah & Matthew (sister & brother-in-law) and their latest new addition to the family. My niece was born on September 19th, 2008 weighing in at 11 lbs 10 oz. Her name is Candice Anne and she is so wonderful. I was by myself visiting so I could focus on just Candice. Its amazing how fast they grow so I was glad I could see her now because she will probably be close to walking by the time I see her again. And the new parents are adjusting very well.

My time spent in Louisiana was great. I was able to relax, visit with my niece, watch cable (I currently only have 4 channels), take a bath in my sister's jacuzzi tub, and sleep in a little bit. And of course we did the tourist thing by driving around looking at many things. One place in particular is a must see...New Orleans.

New Orleans...need I say more!

I was told its a completely different town and nothing can compare. And it didn't. We visited New Orleans on a Saturday therefore there were people all around. The people were very diverse along with some of the aromas in the air. We walked down the streets including Bourbon St and ate a beignet at Cafe Du Monde.
