Dawn and I had a great couple weeks, we got back from our camping / friends family reunion trip a couple weeks ago and its been amazing to be back here in New Orleans.

If you would like to see some of the photos from the Trip to oregon check out hoedown.co Ill keep posting photos from the trip as people mail them in.

Last weekend we met a couple of people from new york. A recent transplant and a friend of his were down here. Both of them lived in Jackson Heights a neighborhood many people don’t even know. Thats the first place I lived when I was in NYC. It was cool to meet people from there and we spent most of last weekend together hanging out and partying.

This weekend Dawn and I took a little camping trip to Ft Pickens, really close to Pensacola, and a place I never would have imagined was so cool. Wow we had a great time. It was really really hot. But it was well worth it, our new friend Aroldo came with us and we spent the days on the beach and checking out the wildlife.

The last night there we got to see a armadillo up close and dawn followed him around for about a half hour with a flashlight. What an interesting little creature. Other animals seen on our trip, a Giant Blue Heron, Some other huge crane type birds, Osprey, tons of shorebirds, crab, dolphins, fish, ray’s, manta-rays, and lots of snakes, lizards, and other creatures. It was a really cool camping experience. Well worth the sunburn and the heatstroke.

Dawns mommy comes in a week or two and we hope to repeat the experience.

So until next time.
