The First Thing You Do.

Yesterday I came back to New Orleans with the U-Haul packed with stuff. My dad and brother helped me out by unloading the U-Haul with me. It seems like I am even more thankful for my family and well, older brothers.

The next thing you do unpon re-entry is visit the Quarter. Cafe Du Monde is always a must. Listening to the street music and smiling at the 'normalness' of it all, I enjoyed a day full of Daddy and me time.

It felt special. On a whim we took the Natchez Boat up and down... or down and up... the mighty Mississippi. Sometimes I want to sit in these moments for a little longer than time allows just so that I remember everything about it. I will remember the way it was cold on the Natchez, but the beer warmed me up.

It was a great day, done just right and slow, the way all true southerners move.
