Great Football Weekend in Louisiana

I had a wonderful time in Louisiana with my cousin Marty, his son Garret and friend Tom. It's great when you get to see two winning games in one weekend, especial when on of the games involves the New Orleans Saints!

The Travel Blogger is back!

OK, we fell behind on the blog, ok, we abandoned the blog! We left St Louis on 14 August and made our way up to Zion, Illinois, which is right on the border with Wisconsin, to attend our son's girlfriend's mom's wedding. Very nice ceremony and reception at a historic 18th century coach inn (now a private home) which belongs to the groom's best friend. We then made it back to Virginia safe and sound in late August, but Kim had to turn around and go back to St. Louis to take care of her mom, who fell ill, and her grandma. That made me a geo-bachelor, so what did I do, well I'm in New Orleans, Louisiana, today waiting for my cousin, Marty to arrive so we can go the the LSU football game on Saturday and the Saints game on Sunday...of course there's going to be some consumption of Cajun food along the way!!
