| New Orleans' Jackson Square |
We stopped in New Orleans for two nights. The 13th was my birthday, and we spent it with my daughter, Abby, who lives in New Orleans.
Abby is about to begin her third year of law school at Tulane. She has had two 6 week clerkships at two different law firms this summer, and has enjoyed them both.
Abby is engaged to be married. The wedding will be September 29, 2014. While I was in town we shopped for wedding invitations and "save the date" cards. It's amazing how many different options are available. The prices are pretty amazing too.

We had my birthday dinner in the French Quarter at a restaurant called Stella! (exclamation point, theirs). We had a most enjoyable evening.
When we left New Orleans, we knew we would be spending a night on the road. I was advocating for the half-way point, Tallahassee. When we went to New Orleans for Thanksgiving last year we had stayed at a park in Tallahassee called Tallahassee RV Park and had found it to be convenient and quiet. Rick was advocating for a longer drive and later stop time, hoping to have a shorter drive the next morning. While we were debating the question, Rick suddenly started honking his horn and waving. We had just passed our friends Carole and Terry from the Coach House Owners Club. Carole and I began texting and discovered that they were planning to stay at the same RV park in Tallahassee that we were discussing. That did it! We stopped for the night in Tallahassee and had dinner with our friends. We enjoyed a nice dinner at a Japanese steakhouse and had fun catching up with Terry and Carole.
We made the relatively easy drive home the next morning, arriving home on Monday July, 15th, 5 days short of 4 months after we had left on March 20th. It was a great trip. I'll have some closing thoughts and observations up in a few days.
