Vacation time is almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bright and early Saturday morning, here we come Louisiana!
Sonia is going to spend the night Friday night and take us to the airport so we don't have to pay for parking for a week. Our flight leaves at 8:30am but we are going to go check our luggage in early and then go to breakfast since we will be on a plane all day and no time for food because we only change planes in Vegas and we are flying SW and so we get only peanuts and pop. Not very filling huh.
We will arrive in Houston at 3:30pm barring no delays. Not sure who is picking us up, but it will be someone from the Gatte family. They are sooooo cool, I love em to death. That is who we will be staying with, well there are so many I'm not sure which ones. Haha
Sunday is church time at Bro. Townleys I think. Don't quote me on that.
Monday is a family reunion with all my dads side of the family. Paw-Paw and Maw-Maw are actually already there visiting in Louisiana and are supposed to stay until after the reunion so that will be cool. I haven't seen any of that side of the family for years and years.
Then the rest of the week I can't say exactly what will be going on. I know we are going to stay one night in New Orleans if we can foster the boys out to one of the Gatte families for a couple days. So a bunch of eating, (For them, not me, they eat too much yucky stuff, thank goodness it all goes with rice) sight seeing, visiting and being with the Gatte's for sure a gob of laughs!
Then on the following Saturday it is time to head back home, but not till 5pm so no rushing around and early morning stuff so that's good.
Travis is taking more time off to just be at home. WhooHoo! So he is staying home until Tuesday night and then he will be flying back to PDX.

And then I haven't decided which I'm more excited about. My week in Louisiana or my weekend in N.Y.C. because on Friday I am flying to meet Travis in N.Y. for the weekend. I have wanted to go there for ever and ever!!!!
We are going to have so much fun, just the 2 of us! I can't wait.
Seeing the Statute of Liberty, visiting Ellis Island, Ground Zero, Times Square. Eating some N.Y. style pizza.

Hopefully with all my traveling I will actually use the camera! I am so bad about not taking enough pictures. AHHH I hope I do better this trip.....

Well I have to get my packing list started so I don't forget anything.
