This past weekend, we (Me, Becky, my Mom and Dad, and my aunt Kenny) piled in a rented Ford Expedition and headed to New Orleans where my cousin Jeremy was getting married. We stayed in the J.W. Marriot on Canal street where we had a great view of Canal street and much of the city. All the wedding festivities went well. We were very tired from the drive, and had to duck out early from several of the events, but it was really great. We hit the aquarium (pictures coming soon) and took a stroll around the French Quarter, which I really didn't like at all. Something about lots of people crammed into a confined space that smells like a mixture of B.O. and pee just seems to get to me for some strange reason. I've got photo sets of the rehearsal dinner and the wedding/reception. My dad and I also created a Flickr group to pool all our pictures.
I also played with myGmaps and created this little map that I will continue to annotate with stuff from the trip.
It was really fun to see the family and participate in the festivities, but I probably won't be planning any more New Orleans vacations any time soon.
