My Mum came to visit me and keep me company while Brady was at a SERE school for three weeks. I am really glad that she got a chance to come and visit during that time! I had no contact with Brady during that time and I knew that he was in a really hard training.
We got to drive down to New Orleans and stay for a few nights! New Orleans is a really fun city. However, it does have its down sides (Stay away from Bourbon St). I ate myself silly! The food there was SO yummy! I recommend Mothers Kitchen. You will be in heaven!
One of my favorite things about this trip was going on a swamp tour! What a fun experience!
First Gator we saw! He/she has a crippled tail.
We got to hold this cute lil guy! His name is Killer!
Another cool thing we did was visit two different Plantations.

This is Oak Alley. It was a sugar cane plantation. There is still a ton of sugar cane around it! It was beautiful!
This is the oak alley leading to the plantation. These trees are only 300 years old!!!
This colorful one is called the San Francisco Plantation. I really liked this one because it is still original. The details inside were AMAZING!
The strangest thing about New Orleans is the cemeteries... They creeped me right out! I felt like i had just walked into a vampire/zombie movie....
The graves are above ground... But wait that's not the strange thing.. The strange thing is that one plot has more than one body! They just shove the bones to the back and use the plot over and over again! I would really hate that job.
We had a blast! I am sure glad my mother and I got to have this experience and time together! :)
