Oh, it's a gorgeous day here in TN! The sun is out and the temps are just right. We had an awesome trip and saw and experienced lots of really neat things but it sure is good to be home again. I mean, look at this sky from a couple weeks ago. How awesome is that?
Or this?
I put more food in the tin before I left. Diesel has discovered the joy of eating right out of the tin.
We started out near Mobile, AL close to T's sister's place. This is nephew's redneck boombox.
We went to Lambert's Cafe, home of the throwed rolls. Obviously, there's a lot to see there.
He caught a roll! They startled us with pretending to squirt mustard on us and pretending to spill a pitcher of tea on us. It was a big party atmosphere here and we all enjoyed it.
Nephew and his fiance.
From Mobile, we headed towards Louisiana and went on a swamp tour.
Click on this pic to blow it up. There's a big gator sunning himself.
Some damage from Isaac.
The swamp. We learned that a swamp is a flooded forest and a bayou is a waterway.
This was at the state park we stayed at. You can see the boardwalk in the back of the pic. They have over a mile of boardwalk which shows all the different eco systems in LA.
Tickfaw state park.
Turns out those little stumps are "breathers" for the cypress trees.

We were fascinated by the swamps.
This is the fishing pond at the campground/state park. There was a small gator in it.
The pyromaniacs.
We made it to the French Quarter in New Orleans. It sure reminded us of Haiti.
Only cleaner.
Two redneck goobers with their hands in the fountain.
Jackson Square.
They wanted their teacher to know they saw the Mississippi river.
Street performers.
The boys got picked to be part of the performance.
One of the guys jumped over the whole group. And since I have a dumb phone and not a smart phone, I missed the pic.
We played a lot of cards and T and I shuffled a LOT of cards because these two couldn't shuffle to save their souls.
Our last view of the Louisiana swamp.
