Louisiana for Thanksgiving - November 2016

Shawna and Ginger
As we alternate families every year for Thanksgiving, it was the year to visit Louisiana.  We decided to fly in and out of New Orleans since there are direct flight on SWA.  At the last minute Shawna had to be in Hartford the week before, so we both met at New Orleans airport on Wednesday evening and drove up to Moreauville that night, making the trip in under 2.5 hours. 

Shawna had arranged for us to go to Ginger's new house for Thanksgiving lunch - Ginger and Michael now live near Alexandria.  It is a wonderful house on a huge lot.  The entire house is decorated with Gin's Den designs and really feels homey.  Ginger's extended family was there so it was fun to catch up with everyone, some of whom we had not seen since our wedding.

The rest of the weekend was pretty quiet because Shawna was sick.  While we were bummed she did not feel well, we clung to the upside that it means she won't get sick on the Sri Lanka trip!  We were able to see Nicole for a while.  Other than that, we rested and ate a lot of gumbo.

Our flight back on the Sunday was at 1:30pm - so we made it to our house by 6pm.
