We're Home

Hi everyone...We got back from our trip from AL yesterday. My camera died and so I have no pictures...We decided to go out the 10 and stop in New Orleans as our half way point. We went to the Gumbo Shop for Gumbo and bread pudding and then over to Pat O'Briens and then walked around Bourbon Street. I was surprised how many tourist were out and about. Still smells to me tho. I'd hate to think what Mari Grai smells like..
The next morning we went back to French Quarters for beneigns and coffee...It was yummy then headed on to to Alabama.
We had a great time visiting Brian, Becky,the boys and Lara. Becky planned a nice birthday party for Lucas. I cant believe Lucas is a year old and almost walking by himself. He will be off and running by Christmas. Becky made 2 soups; Bell Pepper and Chicken Soups, broccoli salad, mac n cheese and rolls and Vanilla (non vanilla) ice cream to go with the pumpkin cake.... It was all really good.
After lunch we opened presents, then everyone went to the animal farm. We went on a hay ride out in the fields, where we got to stop and got picked pumpkins and sunflowers....little Brian had alot of fun but said NO! to every pumpkin we would show him... he was just too cute.
Enjoyed the relaxing weekend. On Monday Becky and I took Lara to Atlanta GA for her flight back home. Becky drove and we had few down pours. With it being a 4 hr drive we talked each others ears off and even left a little early so we could stop in Montgomery to go to Hobby Lobby Craft store...
Got Lara to airport in plenty of time. I drove back and we stopped at a Cracker Barrel to stretch and look around, then stopped at the mall and walked around again in Montgomery. No rain coming back..
Wes and I headed for home Tues morning going up to I - 20 and across...The drive was good until we got to the Miss /LA boarder and traffic...then came some bad rain and couldn't find a RV place that had openings or that wasn't flooding..ended up stopping at a Pilot Truck Stop for the night about 8 p.m and as we went to bed the rain stopped.
The drive from mid LA to TX was ok and no rain. Made a wrong turn and ended up at the loading dock at the back of the Boomtown Casino in Shrieveport,,, so had to unhook the Miata and then back the RV out with the help of alot of security....then hook the Miata back up after the RV got turned around. Oohs!
Finally got home about 2:30...Things look like we got rain (I now understand it was like over 5 inches the day before) we had a small pond of water in front yard. Wes not thinking decides to drive up near the porch and gets stuck...GGRRR
Couldn't pull it out with my car, tried digging it and putting card board boxes as a path, not even the neighbors tractor.helped .So this morning we call and got a big tow truck and the moved it like nothing...all is well. Wes is now filling the holes up.... Come on sun we need to dry out some here....
