New Orleans, LA Vacation Part 4

These are the buildings we seen on one of the haunted tours and the only one we could go on. The first four pictures are the same house.

The most haunted house in the French Quarter. This was a house of torture.

Our hotel on the tour. I guess in one of the back buildings there use to be a hospital for Civil War soldiers.

Now if I remember right a woman died on the roof of this building while holding the chimney

The Cabildo which is haunted by a doctor from the civil war

The Cabildo which is now a museum

The guy in the photo is our tour guide. The building behind him use to be a brothel.

This bar was on the tour and has been around since the late 1700's. If I remember correctly this bar was used to pirate matrials in the civil war to help the confederates.

New Orleans, LA Vacation Part 3

We stayed in the French Quarter and I got several shots of the architecture. These are some of the better shots I got.

Haunted bar on Bourbon Street

I seen this on one of the buildings and just had to take a picture of it

Looking down the streets

Cathedral

I have decided to let the pictures from our trip do the talking. It is hard to put into words the history and the gorgeousness of all the buildings. The next set of pictures will be the buildings on the Haunted History Tour.

New Orleans, LA Vacation Part 2

Here are the best pictures I got at the New Orleans Audobon Aquarium of the Americas.

New Orleans, LA Vacation Part 1

We took off for New Orleans on July 2nd our anniversary at 3:00 in the morning.


The kids slept most of the way there in between stops to rest.




( Sunrise)

It took us 14 hours total to get to our hotel. When we finally got to Mississippi I tried to yell hi to Liquid but I couldn't yell loud enough. (LOL)! Mississippi is a beautiful state although Jackson is a pain to drive through and you never feel like you are ever going to leave it. Until now I had never been father south than Nashville, TN.



Well we finally got into Louisana on the final stretch and we end up in a storm that was brief.
We finally got to our hotel. The hotel was gorgeous.

We get our stuff in the room and take off to eat supper. We decided to eat at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville.



The food was awesome. Well I'm going to end part one here. I'll have part 2 soon.

Vacation Time

Vacation time YEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!! Well we decided not to go to Holiday World for vacation because Gage got 3 stitches between 2 of his toes. What happened was he ran on a wet pool deck at a friends house slipped and his foot caught a nail. He got a tetnus shot, stitches and was put on antibiotic.

So now we are leaving for New Orleans, Louisana. We are really excited. I promise to take several pictures to share. We should be back Friday or Saturday. Talk to then.

Little Quiz

I recieved this in an email but I just loved it.

Below are 5 riddles and the answers at the bottom. This is sure to sharpen those genes in your brain and stall Alzheimers for years....

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

3 What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away ?

4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?

5 This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

THE ANSWERS TO ALL FIVE RIDDLES ARE BELOW:











Answers:



1. The third room. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead. That one was easy, right?



2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry (shot; held under water; and hung).


3. Charcoal, as it is used in barbecuing.


4. Sure you can name three consecutive days, yesterday, today, and tomorrow!


5. The letter e, which is the most common letter used in the English language, does not appear even once in the paragraph
