Aaron said that I has to take my turn captioning the pictures. At the end of our trip, we stayed overnight in Memphis, TN. We figured that we had seen the Jazz Clubs in New Orleans, so we had to stop off at the home of the Blues. We toured Beale Street, had some barbecue, and rode on the trolley. It was amazing. The first picture is me eating ice cream while waiting for the trolley. The second is the view from our way over priced hotel room that we got stuck with because the NCAA tournament was in town. The third is Aaron at Rendezvous restaurant after eating his rack of ribs. Tasty... and the perfect recipe for heartburn. Aaron is also wearing the shirt he bought in New Orleans, one of the MANY t shirts that he owns from all the places we have visited. Ultimately, it was fun just being together and on the road.










These guy's were playing for tips outside of the building that the Louisiana purchase was signed. I could have listened to them all day they were pretty funny to.

Alida and I found out that we are going to be having a baby girl. Doctor says that everything looks good, all body parts are accounted for and she is healthy.
Bellow are some photos from our spring break vacation to New Orleans. We had a very good time and my driving only scared Alida a couple of times.
Alida is finally over being sick all the time and has managed to not throw up for quit some time now. Her only complaint is that she is tiered. Teaching early morning seminary probably has allot to do with that. Only two more months left until school is over and she will be relived from teaching seminary.
This guy has 3 legs and half a tail, he spent some time on our tent.
