This year Robert and I celebrated six years of marriage and decided to go to New Orleans. We had a great time seeing the city and how much they have rebuilt since the hurricane. Business looked good because there were people and shops everywhere. We drove on the edge of the ninth ward and didn't realize we were there but some of the homes are still standing that were involved in the hurricane with symbols spray painted on them. Most of the homes were new and filled with people.
The first night we hit bourbon street...stinky as usual and packed since the Texans were playing the saints. it was hard to get into any of the bars so we just walked...a lot. And if we weren't walking, we were gambling at Harrah's, which we won't ever do again. Not that great a casino and didn't pay out even small amounts of money. They did upgrade us to a suite so no complaints here.
We also went on swamp tour and that was really neat. Highly recommended if you have never done it. i forgot my camera during most of our stay there but i did remember it for the swamp tour. they have been unaffected so far by the oil spill so there was plenty of wildlife to see.
dinner at Brennens...amazing food
the swamp, really amazing. didn't know these waterways were cut by loggers. then someone decided to lay pipeline under 
. not the job i'd want.

Happy Anniversary to us...and many more.
