Tallahassee, Alabama, Mississippi, and New Orleans!

Orlando - The day Nicole & Jordan left, we got to visit with my Uncle Dave and Aunt Judith from Niagara on the Lake. The come to Orlando most years to go to Disney. They also had my cousin Heather and her boys Everett and Sam, as well another cousin Brian and his girlfriend Julie. We had pizza together at their condo and caught up a bit, it was very nice to see them and meet the boys. The boys were pretty pumped about having been at the Magic Kingdom that day!
We left the next day and drove to Tallahasse, the state capital, we really just passed through with our next goal to stop in New Orleans, but not before seeing Mac, Bonnie and Richard, (The Savoys) in Destin.
Destin - we got to Destin on Saturday afternoon after entering the Central time zone, and spent the evening with the Savoy family at their beach condo (very nice). Thanks again for your hospitality! The Emerald Coast was very beautiful with fantastic white sand beaches, if only it were warmer than freezing! We drove along highway 90 west through Alabama, through Mobile and then Mississippi on the I10, through Biloxi and into Louisiana.
New Orleans - I am so excited to be here! I was here just over a year ago with Starbucks and spent a few extra days seeing the city. So now I am a bit of the tour guide, and after we got to our park - French Quarter RV Park, we took a walk through the French Quarter, along Bourbon Street one block to Rue Royal where I showed Todd the Hotel Monteleon where we stayed, then walked down Canal Street to the Riverfront. We then walked through the shops and had cafe au lait and beignets at Cafe du Monde. We walked back along Bourbon Street and I laughed and thought of Caroline when I saw the 'Big Ass Beer'! I am laughing even now! We had so much fun (and worked hard too) when we were here for our convention! The memories! We will stay for a few days - we have to leave before Friday as the Saints are playing and the RV park is full. We will hopefully see the city and taste some great food, and hear some good music! Damian is sick with stomach flu and missed today, let's hope we do not catch it and he gets better soon.
Take care,
Tabitha
