we are currently in new orleans on our way to north carolina for one lat visit before pete and judes move north to new york.
we left austin yesterday around 2PM. the majority of the trip was uneventful.
rick got sleepy and asked me to drive, which i agreed to without realizing just how close we were to houston. i have two road-trip rules: i will not drive in dallas or houston. well, lucky me i got to drive through houston at 4:30, which was super fun.
we missed most of louisiana b/c it was dark and foggy.
we did get a nice 30 minutes side trip when jt announced in the middle of nowhere that he had to use the bathroom. we saw a gas station sign and foolishly followed into the middle of nowhere. it was about 11 PM so we really have no idea where we were but we did get lost and we believe we got to travel over this bridge, not once but twice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SunShine_Bridge.jpg.
we rolled in to town about midnight and stayed up until almost 2 drinking beer and having the best red beans and rice ever.
rick and lee had to take the car in to get a spark plug fixed - i am not thrilled - but once they are done we will start our adventures in nola.

If you head back that way you should stop off in Winnie and see my parents :)
They'd love to see the boys and show off the animals!
Wow, I haven't thought of that bridge in years ... it used to scare me when we'd go over it - HA
