Road trip 2009

[adina]

last friday we packed up and headed south, drove down to New Orleans, with a stop in Jackson, MS on the way down, and Memphis on the way up. A few other stops as well, but those were the main ones.

A few random photos, will try to keep them places together. I facebooked most of these, but thought I'd share here.

We had an awesome time, loved New Orleans. My 8 yr old is ready to move down there, and dh is close behind. Loved Jackson, too. We were there on Easter Sunday, and wandered around the Farish Historical District, which is still pretty much cleaned out from Katrina. The shells of the buildings, combined with the fact that we were the only ones there, made for a pretty neat morning.

Ended up in Memphis on a Wednesday, and Wednesday nights are "Bikes on Beale", hundreds and hundreds of motercycles. Our hotel was right around the corner, so we could hear the music and see the lights from our window all night. Neato.
