TRIP TO GRAND ISLE

We just got back from our vacation in Grand Isle, Louisiana. It was hard to be away from Andrew so long but Adrianna loved having her mom and dad all to her self again. We stayed at Aunt Bennie’s vacation home on the beach. We had a great time hanging out with family and had some amazing meals {compliments of Bennie}! Adrianna’s cousin Mallory was there and they had lots of fun playing on the beach, fishing, riding in the boat, crabbing, and lounging in the hammock! We had a bon fire on the beach and made s’mores. It was so beautiful on the beach and peaceful listening to the waves. It was nice not having to deal with work and all its stress for a week!

We drove to New Orleans on Sunday and went to the Audubon Aquarium. Adrianna thought petting stingrays was so cool! After the aquarium, we rode the trolley to Bourbon Street. This was an experience! Not the best place to take kids. It was really nasty and smelled bad. A guy came up and starting shinning Jeremy’s shoes and wanted $10. Jeremy gave him the money so he would go away. The city is not very safe since Katrina. The highlight of Bourbon Street was people watching because there were some strange people. One guy spray painted him and his guitar silver so when you walked past him he looked like a statue. I was disappointed because I wanted to eat at Emeril's Restaurant but it didn’t open until late that evening so we ate at the French Market instead… It was yummy! I ate my first oyster!
