We finally made the long drive down to New Orleans. It was eventful to say the least. I drove to Mississippi to Buzzy and Ceci's house and spent a couple of nights to break up the trip, then headed down to New Orleans. Kristopher flew down and met me for the weekend and we drove back together on Sunday. Austin had a great time meeting all of his family, and we had a great visit with everyone!

On the way home, all was going well and we were making great time until we hit Shreveport. After a brief stop for lunch we got back in the car only to realize that the air conditioner was not working. We definitely could not drive back to the 105 degree heat of Texas without air, so Kristopher was lucky enough to find a helpful gentleman at O'Reilly Auto Parts to help him figure it out. We had a cracked condenser...so they patched it and, thank the good Lord, we made it home!! After alot of battling with insurance and a week without a car, we were able to get it fixed once back home. Always and adventure! Luckily we had a visit from Ceci all week so that helped with the lack of vehicle!
