Our favorite things from this year were the Muses parade. Jennifer got most of the throws that she wanted but not the elusive shoe. We also did a swamp tour with Honey Island Swamp Tours. The best thing though was getting to spend time with Kim and the kids (Jennifer's friend down south) Chelsea and Shelby are going to be out to Seattle this summer to go to camp. It will be Chelsea's third trip and Shelby's first. Sadly little bro Blair has to stay home (this time). I also enjoyed my first ever shave with a straight razor. I had the head and face done. It was nice and I didn't end up with any missing ears or new scars.
I was really shocked to see how little clean up had been done from the previous year. We went through a neighborhood that had some very nice, HUGE, houses. I'm not sure what the value would be down there but in Seattle these would have been million dollar homes. They had all kinds of stuff just sitting outside because the homes were not fit for the property. This was something I was unaware of as last year I just saw what was wrong with the poor neighborhoods. Katrina affected everyone in New Orleans, not just the poor. Sadly we weren't able to get any pictures of the neighborhoods. We didn't even have time to go back to the 9th Ward to see how far it had come.
