We're still in Louisiana, and if we've missed you, I apologize. We left on April 4, drove to Durham, NC and stayed the night with Chris, Caron & Emery Misita. B left early the next morning back to NJ via the train, and I kept chugging south. The girls and I made it safely to Atlanta where we stayed the night with Jeff & Alex Mercante. After a night of pizza and movies, it was time to hit the road, this time to Daphne, AL (Mobile) to visit with the Fahertys. The two red heads had a special bond, and Lise' hated to tell her "best friend" goodbye.
There was a hitch in the road in Mobile. One of my sliding doors wouldn't close. It's all done by button, and it would close manually, but not easily. Allergies did attack in NC, so by the time we made it to AL, my head was about to rupture. Despite the door problem, I put the girls in the car and made it the final 2.5 hrs to Hammond. Whew, what a trip. The door still wasn't fixed though, so off to the shop it went. A phone call with a "solution" that required $2000 from the dealer prompted B to find his own solution. Answer, use the Internet. He found his answer, called me, and 2 minutes and a pair of pliers later, the door was working. Problem solved, at least for now.
In the other days we've been here, we've hung out with Mimi & Papa, Grandma & Papa, Abri had her first haircut (pics to come), an Easter Egg hunt with all but 3 of the 38 Wale Family, a baptism party for B's second cousin, dinner with more family, and the trip still has 3 days to go in Louisiana, 2 days in Orange Beach, 2 days in Atlanta and then back to NC followed by NJ.
All I can say is that we came, we saw, and we conquered. If we missed you this time, better luck next time. :-)
PS, no that isn't Grandma's egg tree, although it sure would be fun!
