New Orleans




We love New Orleans! lots of great food and great music and just fun to hang out in... Spent last weekend there with Marc and Stephanie Wallace who are great travel partners. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed every minute we had there. Getting there and back was a pain but we survived...
Highlights were joining Larry the Cable Guy in a small parade. He even threw us some beads... We saw some great jazz and blues and ended our first night watching Stephanie ride a mechanical bull. I have videos but I think the pictures on Flickr show everything just fine.

Tuesday we crushed our Merlot grapes. It has been a cold summer in Eastern Washington so everything is delayed but the Merlot was perfect on sugar and acid. We are waiting for Zinfindel and Petite Verdot to fully ripen and everyone is a little concerned that they might not make it before the rains or freezes start.

This weekend is homecoming. The football game is Friday and big dance on Saturday. I think we are just going to hang out at home and catch up with our chores... Sunday is Henry's birthday with the whole family.
